Azerbaijan, Baku /corr. Trend E.Huseynli / Ruling New Azerbaijan Party
(NAP) forwarded a protest note to the Embassy of Russia in Azerbaijan
with regards to the participation of the representatives of Russia's
State Duma as 'international observers' in so-called 'presidential
elections' in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region occupied by Armenia,
NAP Press Service reports.
The note says that so-called 'presidential elections' held by aggressor
Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh is a rough disregard for the norms of
international law and is directed against peaceful settlement of
the conflict.
Participation of Deputy Chairman of Russian State Duma's Organization
and Regulation Committee, Sergey Glotov, and other separate Russian
citizens as 'international observers' in so-called 'presidential
elections' is contrary to the international law and ethic norms.
The NAP expressed the dissatisfaction of the Azerbaijani community
with the action of Russian State Duma's representative and assessed
their position as contrary to the strategic co-operation between
Azerbaijan and Russia. The Party states that Russia is the co-chair
of the OSCE Minsk Group and mediator in the conflict settlement.
The Russian Embassy refused to comment on the issue.
