CO-CHAIRS HAVE NO AGREEMENT ON NAGORNO KARABAKH REFERENDUM

Today, Azerbaijan

"We have no agreement on Nagorno Karabakh referendum, we will have
discussions on the eve of the Azerbaijani and Armenian ministers’
meeting on November 14 in Brussels and determine our position on the
referendum," said OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov.

The referendum on Constitution will be held in Nagorno Karabakh on
December 10. There is a special paragraph in the constitution to be
accepted by referendum on separatist Nagorno Karabakh regime.

Foreign Ministry Press and Information Policy Department Tahir
Tagizadeh told the APA world community and OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
should estimate Nagorno Karabakh puppet regime unambiguously. "For
Azerbaijan everything is clear – these actions are realized by illegal
regime, contradicts the Azerbaijani Constitution and international
legislative norms and can not influence peace negotiations as to its
features," he told APA.

The diplomat considers that the steps made by illegitimate regime
can not achieve legal results.
