Secretary General of Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu stated that the organization does not recognize
the so-called presidential elections held in the occupied Azerbaijani
territories by the separatist regime, APA reports.

Ihsanoglu regarded these elections as violation of international
law principles.

"These elections aim at impeding the settlement of the conflict and
violate international law principles. The Organization of the Islamic
Conference recognizes Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and demand Armenia
to pull out forces from Azerbaijani territories unconditionally,"
the Secretary General said.
