    Baku, February 27, AZERTAC

    According to the reports circulated by the mass media outlets of the
    Republic of Armenia, the so-called "elections" to the "parliament"
    of the puppet separatist regime are planned to be held in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan on 3 May 2015.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan
    issued a statement in this regard. The so-called "elections" to the
    "parliament" of the puppet separatist regime planned to be held in
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan on May 3,
    2015 is illegal, spokesman for the Azerbaijani foreign ministry Hikmet
    Hajiyev said.

    "The holding of "elections" is a clear violation of the Constitution
    of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the norms and principles of
    international law, and, therefore, shall have no legal effect
    whatsoever," he said. "This "elections" are aimed at undermining the
    negotiation process on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement."

    "In 1993, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolutions
    822 (1993), 853 (1993), 874 (1993) and 884 (1993), condemning the
    occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan and reaffirming respect
    for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of
    Azerbaijan and the inviolability of its internationally recognized
    borders," the Azerbaijani foreign ministry's statement says.

    "In those resolutions, the Security Council also confirmed that the
    Nagorno-Karabakh region is part of Azerbaijan, and demanded immediate,
    complete and unconditional withdrawal of the occupying forces from
    all the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. Other international
    organizations have adopted a similar position.

    "The Republic of Azerbaijan once again calls on the Armenian
    side, instead of wasting time and misleading its own people and
    the international community, to cease its policy of annexation
    and ethnic cleansing and to engage constructively in the conflict
    settlement process and comply with its international obligations,
    the statement says.
