YEREVAN, OCTOBER 10, ARMENPRESS: The response of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic has been circulated
to the UN General Assembly and Security Council with regard to the
letters of the Representative of Azerbaijan to the UN on presidential
elections held in the NKR on July 19, 2012.
As NKR MFA Press-service told Armenpress the letter runs: "
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 elections in Artsakh were 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".
According to the NKR Foreign Ministry, it is the refusal of Azerbaijan
to commit to its obligations undertaken within the OSCE Minsk Process
that undermines stability, peace and security in the region.
