YEREVAN. - It does not come as a surprise that the ongoing democratic processes in Artsakh are met with such an extreme discontent in Azerbaijan - a country notorious with its human rights violations, reads the comment made by the Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in connection with the NKR constitutional referendum.

According to the FM, the referendum held on February 20 is yet another evidence of the determination of the people of Artsakh to organize their public life by democratic processes. “The current Constitutional Referendum is aimed at choosing the system of governance that the people of Nagorno-Karabakh consider more relevant to their needs.

“It is commendable that more than hundred international observers representing three dozen countries assessed the Referendum as well-organized, transparent and in line with international standards,” Nalbandian stressed.

In his words, the exercise of fundamental freedoms is a universal right that cannot be subject to limitations. “For quarter of a century, Nagorno-Karabakh conducts processes inherent to democratic societies and there is no doubt that the people of Artsakh have certainly gained the right to live according to the same universal values that the free democratic world enjoys.

Once again the people of Artsakh demonstrated that their will to build democratic society is irreversible notwithstanding all odds of continuous use of force and threat of force, economic blockade and other hostile actions perpetrated by Azerbaijan,” Nalbandian concluded.
