    ELECTIONS IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH WILL NOT AFFECT PEACE PROCESS - RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY

    The elections of local self-government bodies in Nagorno-Karabakh,
    which took place on September 18, 2011, will not affect the peaceful
    settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry
    spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said.

    "We believe that the elections in Nagorno-Karabakh cannot influence
    the process of a peaceful settlement of the conflict," Lukashevich said
    in a commentary posted on the Foreign Ministry website on Thursday.

    Russia does not recognize "the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" as an
    independent state, it says.

    "We will continue assisting Azerbaijan and Armenia with the aim
    of reaching compromise solutions to the Karabakh knot as soon as
    possible," he said.

    "We confirm our support for the principles of territorial integrity
    and non-use of force as well as other fundamental principles and
    standards of international law," he said.
