Dec 11 2006
Turkish Foreign Ministry has made a severe statement on the referendum
held by Nagorno Karabakh regime yesterday, APA Turkish bureau reports.
According to the statement Armenia’s step is regarded as the action
ignoring international law.
"The so-called referendum has changed the constitution of "Nagorno
Karabakh Republic" and separatist regime is presented as hegemonic,
democratic, legal and social state. Turkey regards this as a result
of continuous Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan. Ankara does
not recognize the results of the referendum and condemns Armenia’s
occupation of Azerbaijani territories. One million Azerbaijanis
became refugees as a result of this occupation. Armenia’s action
brings the results of negotiations conducted by OSCE Minsk Group for
the settlement of the conflict to zero."
