    KARABAKH ANNOUNCES REFERENDUM RESULTS

    Public TV, Armenia
    Dec 12 2006

    [Presenter] The final official results of the Nagornyy Karabakh
    constitutional referendum was made public in Stepanakert today. A
    total of 99.03 per cent of those who took part in the referendum
    [on 10 December] voted for and 0.7 per cent against the constitution.

    Some 77,800 people, or 87 per cent of the voters, turned out to vote
    in the referendum.

    [Correspondent reports from Stepanakert over video of the head of the
    Central Electoral Commission, Sergey Nasibyan] The Nagornyy Karabakh
    republic [NKR] is an independent, democratic and legal state. The
    people of Artsakh have confirmed 15 years of independence by voting
    for the constitution. A total of 77,279 people [as heard] voted to
    adopt the constitution on 10 December.

    [Arkadiy Gukasyan, captioned as Nagornyy Karabakh president] I cannot
    see any other way for Nagornyy Karabakh. I am absolutely sure that
    the international community wants is peace in the region. The way to
    peace is Karabakh's independence. Any other way is the path to war.
