Karel de Gucht: "OSCE will not recognize the referendum held in Nagorno Karabakh"

11 December 2006 [18:27] - TODAY.AZ
"OSCE will not recognize the referendum on a draft constitution held in Nagorno-Karabakh," the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Belgian Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht said.

"Such a referendum is counter-productive to the ongoing conflict settlement process, which has recently shown visible progress, as acknowledged by the parties," said Minister De Gucht.

"We do not welcome a move that could jeopardize progress made at this promising juncture," he said, according to APA.

"A reason not to recognize this referendum is that no member of the international community recognizes the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh republic as an independent state."
