/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There is nothing new in official statements of
international structures as regards the forthcoming presidential
election in the NKR, Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian
said in IA Regnum’s press office. NKR is treated the same way as the
other self-proclaimed republics, according to him.
"Nagorno Karabakh is not an exception. The outcomes of elections in
Transdnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia are not recognized by the
international community, but it doesn’t mean that talks are not held
with them.
Moreover, I think that such an assessment doesn’t tell on the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement process," Mr Torosian said.
"Talks should be held with representatives of the given self-proclaimed
republic. People’s representatives are elected on the basis of
democracy.
So, do meetings with NKR representatives make sense if
the international community doesn’t recognize elections in
Karabakh?" Tigran Torosian said.
