PanARMENIAN.Net - Baku administration didn't dare send observers to
monitor presidential elections in Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) Republic,
adviser to NKR Foreign Minister said.
"Democratic elections and developed political system in NKR both
morally and politically affect Azerbaijani people, who are forced to
tolerate hereditary transfer of power. Azeri aggressive position is
explained by Azerbaijani people's regard and envy of Artsakh's model
of a free, successful and independent state.
International observers from 22 countries monitored NKR polls, all of
them characterizing the elections as legitimate, transparent, free,
democratic and fully in line with the republic's election law and
international electoral standards.
The international observers with regret received the non-constructive
statements by representatives of several international organizations.
Speculations as to NKR elections' possible hindering the Armenian-Azeri
conflict settlement run counter to the international law and spark
bewilderment.
Under No.3 article of Convention on the Rights and Duties of States,
"the state's political existence doesn't depend on being recognized by
other countries. Even before recognition, the state has the right to
protect its integrity and independence, ensure self-preservation and
prosperity, and consequently pass laws in its interests and determine
the jurisdiction and competence of the courts. Implementation of
rights has no restrictions and differences from the fulfillment of
rights by other states in line with the international law," Ruben
Zargaryan said in interview with Analitika.at.ua.
