"With regard to the “general elections” that took place today in Nagorno-Karabakh, NATO does not accept the results of these “elections” as affecting the legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh and stress that the results in no way prejudge the final status of Nagorno-Karabakh or the outcome of the ongoing negotiations to bring a lasting and peaceful settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
NATO supports the OSCE Minsk Group, including the recent statement of the Co-Chairs on this issue," said NATO Deputy Assisstant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia James Appathurai
