None of the international organizations will recognize the
parliamentary elections to be held in the so-called “Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic” on 19 June 2005, Speaker Murtuz Alasgarov said to a meeting
of the Milli Majlis (parliament), Trend reports.

Armenians addressed to some international organizations with request
to observe “parliamentary elections”, but their appeal was rejected.

“The Armenians’ address to the Council of Europe (CE) to dispatch
representatives to Khankandi in connection with elections did not
yield results. The CE will not dispatch its representatives, as the
organization does not recognize such ‘republic’. The decisive position
of such authoritative organization as the EC is very important and
satisfactory for Azerbaijan,”- Murtuz Alasgarov stressed.
