Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. (NJ-06) and Congressman Ed Royce (CA-40)
today congratulated the people of Nagorno Karabakh on the peaceful
exercise of democracy through the regular presidential elections which
occurred on July 19, 2012. The elections represented another step in
the bolstering of the democratic process that has been established
inNagrono Karabakh :
As the Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, I wish
to extend my congratulations to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic on their
exercise of democratic presidential elections. The presidential
elections held on July 19, 2012 are another important day in the
history of independence and democratic freedom for the people of
Artsakh. It is heartening to see their continued dedication to
peaceful democracy.
On September 2, 1991 the Nagorno Karabakh Republic declared the
formation of an independent, democratic republic. On December 10, 1991
a referendum on the independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic took
place and was overwhelmingly approved. I am pleased the Republic
continues to hold regular parliamentary and presidential elections
that have previously been viewed as free and fair by international
observers.
These elections represent the strength of the democratic process in
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and are a testament to the commitment of
the people in Artsakh to the Republics sovereignty. As Co-Chair of the
Congressional Armenian Issues Caucus I am committed to promoting the
democratic independence of Nagorno Karabakh and will continue to
support the rightful exercise of self-determination which contributes
to regional stability and development, said Pallone
"I commend the people of Nagorno-Karabakh for holding peaceful and
honest elections. Throughout the years we have seen a trend of its
electoral system working in proper fashion and the most recent
election maintains that precedent. Voting embodies a functioning
democracy, I applaud all in Nagorno-Karabakh for putting democracy
into action, said Royce.
