Postanjyan Informs PACE about NKR Parliamentary Elections

Member of the Armenian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Zaruhi Postanjyan has sent information to PACE notifying about the 5th parliamentary elections to be held on May 23 in the Artsakh Republic.

Postanjyan accuses the PACE of not having shown respect for the rights of the people living in Artsakh. Further she mentions that the Chairman of the National Assembly of NKR Ashot Ghulyan invited the PACE to come and monitor the parliamentary elections, while the PACE decided to refuse it.

Later Postanjyan says that during its independence Artsakh has held presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections.

“The whole judicial, public and state system of Artsakh is in line with the provisions of European Human Rights Convention, and Artsakh has outstripped Azerbaijan in terms of democracy,” writes Postanjyan, adding that the recognition of the independence of Nagorno Karabakh has come and has no alternative.
