In couple of weeks western diplomats will forget that they "did not recognize" elections in Karabakh
The people of Nagorno Karabakh voted for themselves but not for international structures, Paul Williams, the head of the Public International Law and Policy Group (PILPG), which observed the NKR presidential elections, told a news conference in Yerevan.

"Their aim was to elect the President and they succeeded brilliantly. I am convinced that in a couple of weeks western diplomats will forget that they "did not recognize" elections in Karabakh," Mr Williams said.

He also noted that the conclusions of the PILPG on the NKR elections will be submitted to consideration of the U.S. Congress.

"The U.S. observation mission attended 50 polling stations and met with representatives of executive structures and NGOs as well as with observers from other states," he said.
