authority in the territories occupied by Armenia. The UN
resident-coordinator in Azerbaijan, Marco Borsotti, has said that the
UN does not recognize the [parliamentary] elections in Nagornyy

[Correspondent] The UN does not recognize the [parliamentary]
elections in the self-styled Nagornyy Karabakh republic, the UN
resident-coordinator, Marco Borsotti, said. He also said that the UN
accepts only the Azerbaijani authority in the occupied territories.

The UN recognizes no other but Azerbaijani authority in Nagornyy
Karabakh as the UN backs the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. We
always proceed from these principles. When the conflict is settled in
line with the interests of Azerbaijan, we will be able to say
something. However, until it happens, we will not comment on any
events staged in Nagornyy Karabakh.

refugees]

unloaded from a lorry]
