    European official's stance on Karabakh polls "far from reality"

    Artsakh State TV, Stepanakert
    5 Aug 04

    August

    [Presenter in studio] On 5 August, the press service of the ministry
    of foreign affairs of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic [NKR] commented
    on the statement of Council of Europe Secretary-General Walter
    Schwimmer who expressed his regret about the elections to local
    government bodies in the NKR. Schwimmer has made such statements
    several times.

    The NKR ministry of foreign affairs regards the logic of the statement
    as strange and far from reality. Elections are an important component
    of building democracy and a civic society. Elections are also a tool
    for electing authorities that represent the NKR in the negotiating
    process on the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict settlement.

    The NKR foreign ministry thinks that the international community is
    not interested in anarchy and in halting the establishment of
    democracy in Nagornyy Karabakh. Such statements can be regarded as
    political support for the regime that unleashed a war on Nagornyy
    Karabakh, violates democracy and is far behind Nagornyy Karabakh in
    democratic development.
