    Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry slammed forthcoming "parliamentary
    elections" in the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh republic scheduled for
    May 2015.

    "The so-called parliamentary elections of the puppet separatist regime
    are illegal," declared Hikmet Hajiyev, the spokesman for the Foreign
    Ministry on February 27.

    "Those planned elections are clearly a violation of Azerbaijan's
    Constitution and stand against the principal of international law.

    Therefore, such elections will never have any significant impact,"
    he added.

    Hajiyev further emphasized that this move mainly aimed to undermine
    peace talks and prevent any breakthrough in the resolution of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    The so-called authorities in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region
    have scheduled "parliamentary elections" to be held on May 3, 2015,
    read a statement from the illegitimate "NKR" president's press office.

    Previous parliamentary "elections" in Azerbaijan's occupied lands
    were held on May 23, 2010, at which point Azerbaijan appealed the
    United Nations Organization.

    Puppet rulers in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan have always
    seized every possible opportunity to hinder, thwart and sabotage
    peace negotiations.

    In July 2012, with the support of the Armenian authorities
    the so-called regime in Azerbaijan's occupied territories held
    "presidential elections".

    Along with Azerbaijan, Turkey has strictly condemned such actions
    stressing they stood in breach of international law.

    Back in 1992, following a violent and bloody conflict, Armenia occupied
    20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
    seven surrounding districts.

    The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
    of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
    holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has yet to comply with the UN Security Council resolutions
    calling for the liberation of all occupied territories.
