OSCE PA describes so-called elections in Nagorno-Karabakh as illegitimate
By Akbar Mammadov
The recent “elections” held in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region were illegitimate and could aggravate the public health threat, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly said in a statement on April 9.
The leadership of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly agreed to endorse a call by United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres for a worldwide ceasefire, emphasizing that a number of conflicts continue to rage in the OSCE area even as countries struggle to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
“As the world grapples with containing the COVID-19 pandemic, the last thing we need is armed conflict to complicate these efforts,” said OSCE PA President George Tsereteli.
OSCE President also urged all parties to heed the UN call for a ceasefire. "So that we can all focus on the common struggle today against COVID-19," he added.
