On 18 July, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Azerbaijan issued a statement saying the so-called "presidential
elections" that took place in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region
on July 19, 2012.
The statement said:
"According to the reports circulated by the mass media outlets of
the Republic of Armenia so-called "presidential elections" are being
arranged to take place in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region of
the Republic of Azerbaijan on July 19, 2012.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan
reiterates in this regard that the Republic of Armenia, having occupied
the Azerbaijani territories and conducted ethnic cleansing against
local Azerbaijani population, has established illegal authorities
in the occupied territories. The so-called "elections" are organized
in order to camouflage the policy of Armenia aimed at annexation of
the occupied territories and to promote the results of the continued
occupation of the Azerbaijani territories.
Such action, in absence of the original Azerbaijani population of
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and without necessary authorization
of respective structures of the Republic of Azerbaijan, gravely
violates the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Republic
of Azerbaijan and the norms and principles of international law and,
therefore shall have no legal effect whatsoever.
Holding legitimate elections will be possible after the withdrawal of
the Armenian occupying forces, normalization of life in the region,
return of expelled Azerbaijani population and creation of necessary
conditions for restoration of the dialogue and cooperation between
the Armenian and Azerbaijani communities of the Nagorno-Karabakh
region of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The Republic of Azerbaijan calls upon the Armenian side instead of
its destructive illegal steps, which does not have any prospects,
to withdraw its Armed Forces from the Azerbaijani territories, thus
opening prospects for sustainable peace, security and development of
the entire region."
