Turkish Foreign Ministry The Turkish Foreign Ministry condemns the
conduction of the so-called "parliamentary elections" in Karabakh.
Zaman newspaper reports that Turkey says it does not recognize the
separatist regime in Karabakh and "elections" it is going to hold on
May 23.
It is also noted at the session that the norms of international
law are rudely violated and for this reason the conduction of such
elections is illegal.
Such "elections" cast a shadow on regional stability and also reduce
to zero the efforts of the international mediators on the peaceful
resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
The Turkish foreign ministry states once again that Ankara supports
the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, does not recognize the
so-called "elections" in Kaabakh and considers them contradicting to
the international law.
