    FM: World will not recognize "election" in Nagorno-Karabakh

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 5 / Trend News S.Agayeva /


    The international community will not recognize the "election", which
    the separatist regime of the Nagorno-Karabakh plans to hold in the
    Azerbaijani occupied territories, Baku stated.

    Feb.5, Head of the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" (NKR) Bako
    Saakyan signed a decree to appoint the next elections to the National
    Assembly of NKR May 23, 2010, Novosti Armenia reported.

    The international community will not recognize the "election" in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh and this will not be accepted seriously, Foreign
    Ministry Spokesman Elkhan Polukhov told Trend News.

    Armenia's political elite will put itself in an awkward position and
    once again confirm the occupation policy, he added.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are
    currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
    occupied territories.
