SERGE SARGSIAN: REACTION OF A NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL STRUCTURES TO
REFERENDUM ON NKR CONSTITUTION IS AT LEAST STRANGE
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 15, NOYAN TAPAN. "It seems to some people that a
referendum on independence was held in Karabakh, while the issue of
adoption of the country’s Basic Law was considered," Defence Minister
Serge Sargsian said at the December 15 press conference. In his words,
one forms an impression that the leadership of a number of
international structures mixes up something, as their reaction to the
referendum on Nagorno Karabakh Constitution "is at least strange."
"And if Nagorno Karabakh’s having a Constitution is not beneficial for
someone, this is quite a different matter," he declared. And as
regards the international observers’ estimation, in the words of the
Armenian Defence Minister, their reaction to holding of the referendum
on NKR Constitution was positive. In S.Sargsian’s words, the reaction
of NATO’s leadership on this issue is more acceptable for him. This
reaction is the following: "it is the OSCE Minsk Group that is engaged
in the Nagorno Karabakh problem and NATO does not intervene in this
issue."
