    AZERBAIJANI CEC CHAIRMAN: THE ELECTIONS SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 14 BY ARMENIAN SEPARATISTS ARE ILLEGITIMATE

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    Aug 28 2007

    "Armenians try to make us furious by so-called elections in Nagorno
    Karabakh and use it in their purposes. We should not allow this,"
    chief of Central Election Commission (CEC) Mazahir Panahov said
    while commenting on the local elections scheduled fro October 14 by
    Nagorno Karabakh separatists in the occupied Azerbaijani territories,
    APA reports.

    CEC chief said that the world community does not recognize the
    "elections" held by Armenian separatists either and mentioned that
    the international organizations have expressed strict position towards
    any elections held in Nagorno Karabakh up to now.

    "International organizations even express their position before
    relevant Azerbaijani bodies and state that they do not recognize
    'puppet' elections. The elections scheduled for October 14 by Armenian
    separatists are null and void and no country recognizes the structures
    they have established. Azerbaijan's position is very resolute. If in
    the 90s only Azerbaijan expressed its position, now all international
    organizations support us. This is the success of Azerbaijan's foreign
    policy," he said.

    Mazahir Panahov underlined that all steps taken by separatist Nagorno
    Karabakh are contrary to Azerbaijan's Constitution and international
    law.
