The secretary-general of the Organization of the Islamic Conference
(OIC), Abdelouahed Belkeziz, has sent a letter to the Azerbaijani
foreign minister, condemning the “local elections” in Nagornyy
Karabakh scheduled for 8 August.
The press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reports that in
his letter, the OIC head confirms the OIC resolutions demanding that
Armenia vacate the occupied Azerbaijani territories, including
Nagornyy Karabakh.
The letter says further that the “illegal elections” in Nagornyy
Karabakh will have a “negative” impact on a negotiated settlement to
the conflict.
