Foreign Ministry made statement denouncing the fake “parliamentary
elections” in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

According to the statement received by APA from the press service
of Foreign Ministry that Azerbaijani side evaluated these separatist
actions for several times legally and announces again that such policy
will not lead to successful perspective.” Holding fake “elections”
in the territories under occupation and in which the policy of ethnic
cleaning is pursued contradicts the international juridical norms and
the principles of Azerbaijan Constitution and has no legal force. Such
steps taken by Armenian side does not coincide with the spirit of the
recent positive talk’s process. Permanent peace can not be mentioned
until the principles of cooperation and peaceful living condition
are not established between Azerbaijani and Armenian communities in
the Nagorno Karabakh region of Azerbaijan Republic.

Therefore, Azerbaijan supports the calls of the international unity
on establishing direct relations for forming confidence and respect
between the communities.

The dialogue between the communities will provide opportunity
for establishing normal relations between the Armenians living in
Karabakh and Azerbaijanis who had to leave their own homes, involving
the all layers of the population of the region into the legal, peace
and democracy process as well as the process of forming legitimate
structures”.
