    EX-FM: FAIR ELECTIONS IN ARTSAKH IMPORTANT FOR CONFLICT SETTLEMENT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Ex-foreign minister of Armenia, Prosperous Armenia
    party member Vartan Oskanian commented on ongoing presidential polls
    in Artsakh.

    In his Facebook post, the politician stressed that fair and competitive
    elections in the republic are important in Karabakh conflict settlement
    progress.

    "A recent Freedom House report listed Artsakh as well as Azerbaijan
    among non-free countries, while Armenia was named partially free,"
    Oskanian said.

    According to the politician, Artsakh was compared to Azerbaijan in
    the fact that in 2010 NKR parliamentary polls, no opposition member
    made it to the national assembly.

    As Oskanian noted, with Karabakh settlement progresss in a standstill,
    it's vital to both Armenia and NKR not to be compared to Azerbaijan
    as far as democratic values go.

    "Armenian diplomacy must dtrive to make the international community
    aware that Artsakh has used its "right to self determination," having
    already determined its position.
