"The elections in NKR are necessary for us, not the world,"
political scientist Stepan Grigoryan told a press conference today,
expressing confidence that their results will not be recognized by
the international community, since "any process in Nagorno Karabakh
outside the Minsk Group format is unacceptable to them."
Stepan Grigoryan assured that progress can be observed in the
democratization processes in Artskah, particularly in the election
processes. This becomes apparent from that Arkady Ghukasyan did not
run for the third term and several candidates have been nominated.
The political scientist considers that the Karabakh and Kosovo issues
are of the same nature, since in both cases the question refers to the
right for self-determination. "The only difference is in the scale,"
said Mr. Grigoryan, adding that the independence of Kosovo will find
reflection in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
