    CONGRESSMEN PALLONE AND ROYCE STATEMENT CONGRATULATING NAGORNO
    KARABAKH ON THEIR DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

    WASHINGTON


    The following information was released by the office of New Jersey
    Rep. Frank Pallone Jr.:

    Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. (NJ-06) and Congressman Ed Royce (CA-40)
    today congratulated the people of Nagorno Karabakh on the peaceful
    exercise of democracy through the regular presidential elections which
    occurred on July 19, 2012. The elections represented another step in
    the bolstering of the democratic process that has been established
    inNagrono Karabakh :

    As the Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, I wish
    to extend my congratulations to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic on their
    exercise of democratic presidential elections. The presidential
    elections held on July 19, 2012 are another important day in the
    history of independence and democratic freedom for the people of
    Artsakh. It is heartening to see their continued dedication to
    peaceful democracy.

    On September 2, 1991 the Nagorno Karabakh Republic declared the
    formation of an independent, democratic republic. On December 10, 1991
    a referendum on the independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic took
    place and was overwhelmingly approved. I am pleased the Republic
    continues to hold regular parliamentary and presidential elections
    that have previously been viewed as free and fair by international
    observers.

    These elections represent the strength of the democratic process in
    the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and are a testament to the commitment of
    the people in Artsakh to the Republics sovereignty. As Co-Chair of the
    Congressional Armenian Issues Caucus I am committed to promoting the
    democratic independence of Nagorno Karabakh and will continue to
    support the rightful exercise of self-determination which contributes
    to regional stability and development, said Pallone

    "I commend the people of Nagorno-Karabakh for holding peaceful and
    honest elections. Throughout the years we have seen a trend of its
    electoral system working in proper fashion and the most recent
    election maintains that precedent. Voting embodies a functioning
    democracy, I applaud all in Nagorno-Karabakh for putting democracy
    into action, said Royce.
