Karabakh election in no way prejudges its legal status: co-chairs
BAKU July 20
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs believe the election of president of
the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-Karabakh in no way prejudges
its final legal status. This was said in their joint statement posted
on the OSCE official website.
"The Co-Chairs acknowledge the need for the de facto authorities in NK
to try to organize democratically the public life of their population
with such a procedure. However, the Co-Chairs note that none of their
three countries, nor any other country, recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh as
an independent and sovereign state," the statement of the Russian,
American and French co-chairs said.
The statement particularly stressed that "the procedures of July 19 in
no way prejudge the final legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh or the
outcome of the ongoing negotiations to bring a lasting and peaceful
settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict".
