STEPANAKERT. July 20 (Interfax) – Members of the U.S. Public
International Law and Politics Group who worked at the July 19
presidential elections in the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-
Karabakh have said that the elections were free and transparent and
fully complied with Nagorno-Karabakh legislation and international law.
The electoral process was organized very well, the group’s executive
director Paul Williams told a news conference in Stepanakert on Friday.
The time will come when Nagorno-Karabakh will gain international
recognition of its independence, he said.
Nagorno-Karabakh is in a considerably more favorable situation than
other similar territorial entities, Williams said.
