    Russian MP hails polls in Nagornyy Karabakh Republic [NKR]

    The [19 June parliamentary] elections in Nagornyy Karabakh were held
    in line with democratic standards and without any incidents, the
    director of the [Moscow-based] Institute of CIS [and Diaspora Studies]
    and a member of the Russian State Duma, Konstantin Zatulin, has told
    journalists. Zatulin monitored the parliamentary elections in the
    Nagornyy Karabakh Republic [NKR] as an observer.

    Zatulin pointed out that he had been at six polling stations, Arminfo
    correspondent reported from Stepanakert. "Of course, conditions at
    some of them leave much to be desired in terms of equipment, but then
    electoral lists were hanged on the walls everywhere, which is not the
    case in Russia and which we could also practise," he said.

    Zatulin said that people voted for individual candidates and parties,
    but in the end they voted for democracy. He believes that the mixed
    system of elections, which has spurred the process of creating new
    parties, is a step forward.

    "The people of Karabakh have not only demonstrated that they are
    faithful to democratic processes and democracy, but they have also
    proven that they live in a real country. These elections will also
    undoubtedly impact on the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh
    conflict," Zatulin said.
