Romania condemns `parliament election’ in self-proclaimed republic

Baku, July 6, AssA-Irada
Romania has expressed concerns over the June 19 so-called
`parliamentary election’ held in Upper Garabagh, the Azerbaijani
embassy in Bucharest told Azertag, Azerbaijan’s state news agency.
The `election process’ in the self-proclaimed republic negatively
affects the talks between Baku and Yerevan, the Romanian Foreign
Ministry said in a statement. `The Ministry backs efforts by the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs to peacefully settle the Armenia-Azerbaijan
conflict over Upper Garabagh,’ it said.*
