ISLAMABAD (APP) – Pakistan considered Karabakh as the sovereign territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan and any attempt to conduct the so-called elections there by the illegally installed regime was legally and morally reprehensible.
“Such an attempt is also a grave violation of the UN Charter and principles of established international law,” Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a press statement on Sunday in response to a query regarding the so-called presidential elections in the territory of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan on Saturday condemned the elections held in the territories of its Karabakh region, calling it an “extremely provocative step.”
“This is a clear violation of Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, is by no means admissible and tolerable,” Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry statement maintained.
It said that the “provocations by Armenia” had a detrimental impact on the normalization process and hindered the international efforts.
