Iranian observers expressed their opinion on preliminary results of the May 23 parliamentary elections in Nagoro-Karabakh, calling them “transparent, democratic and exemplary”.

“Taking into account the NKR’s potential, we believe that the elections were held in the best way,” Dr. Rubik Sardaryan says on behalf of the Iranian delegation.

The observers noted that the candidates’ proxies were present at the polling stations throughout the election process. The observers visited Askeran and Hadrut, as well as a number of polling stations in Stepanakert where they pointed out a high-level election process.

Twenty-nine international and 31 local journalists, 113 foreign and 22 local observers got registered for the 23 May parliamentary elections in Nagorno-Karabakh. Representatives from the French Institute of Democracy and Cooperation, Yezid and Greek communities, Russian political experts, delegations from South Ossetia and Abkhazia, the head of French Association of Doctors in Law and others were among the observers.
