‘Illegitimate’ polls
Kathimerini, Greece
June 18 2005
Turkey said yesterday that upcoming parliamentary polls in Nagorno
Karabakh, a breakaway enclave claimed both by its close ally
Azerbaijan and its arch-foe Armenia, were illegitimate and contrary
to international peace efforts in the region. “Turkey believes that
such unilateral initiatives… will not help efforts for a peaceful
settlement… and considers those elections as illegitimate,” Foreign
Ministry spokesman Namik Tan said.
