U.S. says will not recognize Garabagh ‘elections’
The United States has said it does not recognize the so-called
"parliament elections" planned on Sunday by the Armenia-backed
separatist regime in Azerbaijan’s occupied Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh
region.
"No country in the world, including the United States, recognizes the so-called Upper Garabagh Republic or the so-called ‘parliament elections’," said a State Department official while stating the US stance to Azerbaijan’s state-run AzerTAj news agency.
The official also said the U.S. was committed at the highest levels to supporting the efforts of the OSCE`s Minsk Group to mediate a peaceful solution to the long-lasting conflict.
Washington said that as a Minsk Group co-chair, the U.S. works with Armenia and Azerbaijan to seek a long-term settlement to the conflict based upon the Helsinki Final Act principles of non-use-of force, self-determination and territorial integrity.*
