Armenian separatists will continue to to hold illegal “elections”
in the occupied Azerbaijani territories unless the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is solved, Ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) Deputy Chairman
and Executive Secretary Ali Ahmadov said.
“The unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict creates conditions for
the separatists to hold illegal “elections,” MP Ahmadov said at
the parliament.
The separatist regime held unlawful “parliamentary elections”
in Nagorno-Karabakh May 23. Many international organizations,
including the Council of Europe, said about the non-recognition of
these elections.
Ahmedov said the Azerbaijani community should call on the international
organizations to intensify efforts to resolve this conflict to prevent
the separatists’ steps.
“Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has repeatedly expressed an
unequivocal position on the settlement of the conflict. Azerbaijani
society should also be active in this matter,” he said.
Ahmedov appraised non-recognition of illegal “elections” in the
Nagorno-Karabakh by the international organizations.
“The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs also stated that this “elections”
by the separatists have no legal force. Despite this, the separatists
will continue to hold illegal “elections” unless the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is solved,” he added.
The Azerbaijani parliament should be more active to accelerate the
process of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, Ahmadov added.
