PanARMENIAN.Net - The response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
the Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) Republic has been circulated to the
UN General Assembly and Security Council with regard to the letters
of Azerbaijan's representative to the UN on the presidential election
held in the NKR on July 19, 2012.
The document of the Foreign Ministry reads that "the formation of
state structures through free and transparent expression of the
popular will has become an inseparable part of the political culture
in the Republic".
It is also noted that the July 19, 2012 presidential election
in Artsakh was yet another step towards deepening the democratic
traditions and universal values in the country that was affirmed by
the high assessments given by the international observers, including
members of the European Parliament, journalists and public activists.
"The Nagorno Karabakh Republic expects the international community
to demonstrate an appropriate response to its ongoing democratic
processes, which will send the proper signal to the developing
democracies around the globe.
Any allegations by Azerbaijan that the democratic development of the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic hampers the peace process are illogical, and
are solely aimed at distracting the international community away from
factual obstacles in the negotiation process", the NKR MFA letter said.
According to the NKR Foreign Ministry, Azerbaijan's refusal to observe
its obligations undertaken within the OSCE Minsk Process undermines
stability, peace and security in the region.
