Georgia refuses to recognize election in breakaway Karabakh

The Georgian Foreign Ministry confirms its unequivocal support for the
sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan
and does not recognizes the so-called “parliamentary election” in
[breakaway] Nagornyy Karabakh on 23 May 2010.

We deeply believe that there is no alternative to peace talks under
way in the region. The process should continue with the participation
of international entities until the final decision that will pave the
way for the conflict settlement is reached.
