"First of all I'd like the GUAM member-states to avoid from commenting on issues, which do not concern them, particularly elections in NKR," Acting Spokesman for the RA MFA Vladimir Karapetyan stated commenting on the fact that GUAM has "condemned" conduction of presidential elections in NKR. He said, after gaining independence the NKR people chose the way of building democratic and jural state, and during the past years the republic has reached significant success in it. "It's a pity that the GUAM member-states make comments proceeding from their inner interests, forgetting that power in NKR has been formed through elections. Democratic elections in NKR, including the coming presidential elections lead the country to the formation and development of legal and state institutes, which is important for the peaceful solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Karapetyan underlined.
