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.
