The so-called "referendum" in Nagorno-Karabakh scheduled for December
10, 2006 prejudices the negotiations on the peaceful resolution of
the conflict in this region, and once again proves that the position
of the Armenian party is insincere, said Novruz Mammadov, Chief
of the External Relations Department of the Azerbaijan President
Administration, Trend reports.

According to Mr. Mammadov, it is a proof of the fact that Armenians
are playing a multisided game.

"Irrespective of the games they play, they can not win and gain
dividends. Already some countries and international organizations
have expressed their opinion towards this issue. The international
community will never acknowledge this show as a serious legal act",
said Mr. Mammadov.
