YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS: Authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh
refrained from setting up a polling station in Russian Moscow for
its citizens who will be asked on December 10 to go to the polling
stations to cast ballots in a constitutional referendum.
A deputy foreign minister of Nagorno-Karabakh, Mayis Mailian, cited
instances of fierce Azeri protests over cultural events organized by
Karabakh authorities in Moscow lately. "Just imagine what Azeris in
Moscow would do should we try to set up a polling stations there,"
he said to Armenpress.
He said the majority of Nagorno-Karabakh citizens outside their
country are in Russia and in Armenia.
Raya Nazarian, the press secretary of the Central Election Commission
of Nagorno-Karabakh, said a polling station will open at the permanent
representation of Karabakh in Yerevan. She said 300 Karabakh citizens
have already registered there.
Seven international organizations and nine local ones have registered
with CEC to watch the December 10 referendum which will be covered
by 55 Armenian and foreign journalists.
