The foreign ministry of the NKR has issued a statement on the July 19
presidential elections.
The statement particularly says: `The level of the presidential
elections held in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic are comparable with
the elections held in advanced democratic countries, which shows our
people's commitment to build a sovereign and independent state, to the
ideas of freedom, democracy. We consider it necessary to state that
the participation in the elections and forming leadership bodies
through free and just elections is one of the rights fixed in the
international law, while neglecting and not recognizing it is a severe
violation of the principle.
The speculations that the elections in the NKR can prevent the
Azerbaijani-Karabakhi conflict settlement are groundless and pursue an
aim of propaganda. The will of the NKR people is decisive in the
conflict settlement process, which is completely accepted by both the
international community and the mediators. The development of
democracy is the fundamental basis of building of NKR's statehood and
is in the interests of the civilized world community. Therefore, the
attitude towards the presidential elections in the NKR cannot be
conditioned by the subjective opinion of certain political circles.'
