As Alexander Tsinker told PanARMENIAN.Net everything happening outside of OSCE sphere of influence is deemed “incorrect.” “OSCE doesn’t want to spoil relations with those of its member states which have unresolved conflicts. We believe that the unrecognized republics must be involved in negotiations deciding their fate. OSCE and EU must realize there’s a democratically elected leader of NKR who has to be reckoned with,” the political expert said. ICES observer group of 9 German, Czech, Hungarian and Israeli experts will be monitoring presidential polls in Artsakh.
