Commenting on the statement by Terry Davis, the Secretary General
of the Council of Europe, that the international community will not
recognize the presidential elections in Nagorno Karabakh, NKR National
Assembly Speaker Ashot Gulyan told Mediamax that the "high position
of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis had
to hold him back from obviously biased position on the forthcoming
presidential elections in Armenia."
In Ashot Gulyan’s words, "such position is characteristic to
conservative politicians of Europe, who do not wish to notice the
objective trends in the contemporary world." The NKR Parliament
Speaker said these statements are of destructive nature and encourage
the Azerbaijani authorities to prevent the participation of Nagorno
Karabakh in the negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh in full format.
"Being a full party to the conflict, Nagorno Karabakh has to have
legitimate authorities, which can really control the whole territory
of NKR and carry responsibility for the fate of people and the peace
process of the conflict resolution," Mr. Gulyan underlined.
