Hungarian Foreign Ministry: Hungary doesn't recognize constitutional
and legal framework of so-called "elections" in Nagorno-Karabakh
Azerbaijan, Baku, July 21 /Trend E.Tariverdiyeva/
Hungarian Foreign Ministry fully aligns with the Statement of the High
Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security
Policy, Catherine Ashton of 18 July 2012, stating that the European
Union does not recognize the constitutional and legal framework of the
so-called "elections" in Nagorno-Karabakh, the ministry's website said
on Saturday.
Hungary remains firm in its position on the settlement of the conflict
in Nagorno-Karabakh. Hungary shares the common EU stand on this issue
emphasizing that the settlement must be achieved by peaceful and
negotiated means, on the basis of the sovereignty, territorial
integrity and inviolability of borders of the states concerned, as
well as the respect for the rights of minority communities.
These 'elections' should not prejudice the determination of the future
status of Nagorno-Karabakh in the negotiated general framework of the
peaceful settlement of the conflict, the statement said.
Hungary joins the High Representative in calling on the parties to
step up their efforts to find a negotiated solution to the conflict on
the basis of the Madrid principles, which would allow progress beyond
the status quo.
The so-called "presidential elections" took place in the occupied
Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan on July 19,
2012. No world country recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh as independent and
sovereign state.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. - are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
