MINSK GROUP LABELS USELESS NK’S CONSTITUTIONAL REFERENDUM AT THE MOMENT

"The vote organized by Nagorno Karabakh’s de facto authorities can
not have legal force, the world community will not recognize it and
as a result it will have no consequence", the content of CE Secretary
General Terry Davis’s statement is not much different from the other
statements of the international structures made hitherto about the
processes in self-declared states.
To remind, suchlike statements – more precisely statements of not
recognizing the votes – were made in regard to various elections
in South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria. That the Azerbaijani
side would label the constitutional referendum an obstacle to the
negotiations came as no surprise. Interestingly, the Minsk Group
co-chairs stated that the December 10 constitutional referendum in
Nagorno Karabakh will not affect the process of peace talks.
