ELECTIONS IN NKR DIRECTED TO REGULATION OF DOMESTIC LIFE
The parliamentary elections in Nagorno Karabakh are first of all directed to the regulation of domestic life, NKR Foreign Minister Arman Melikian stated in his interview with H2 Armenian TV Channel. "We do not purpose the objective to be praised by the international community for conduction of exemplary elections. We ourselves need these elections and their correspondence to international standards will do much good. But I would like to reiterate that it is the issue of our internal life and due to this reason the conduction of transparent and democratic elections is essential", NKR FM noted. "As for the presence of international observers, Karabakh sent invitations to lots of international and public organizations and individuals from the CIS, US, Europe and Islamic states. Many of them have already agreed to watch the elections", the minister resumed.
