BAKU. Dec 4 (Interfax) – Azerbaijan will not recognize the results
of the referendum on the Karabakh constitution set to be held in the
unrecognized republic of Nagorno-Karabakh on December 10, a statement
by the Azeri Foreign Ministry says.

"Any constituent document on the Karabakh self-government may enter
into force only in the course of a well-considered, legal, democratic
and peaceful process, in which the Armenian and Azeri communities
take part on equal terms," the statement says.

The December 10 referendum "in the occupied region of Azerbaijan would
breach not only the norms and principles of the Azeri constitution
but also those of international law," the ministry said.

"Azerbaijan will never recognize the illegal Armenian-sponsored
acts which derive from the policy of fait accompli and which are in
total opposition to attempts to achieve lasting peace and regional
stability," the ministry said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
