New Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister says elections in Karabakh are about "values"

The recently appointed Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanian said that by holding elections Nagorno Karabakh lays the grounds for organizing people’s lives on the basis of commonly accepted and comprehensive values. The Deputy Foreign Minister pointed out that Azerbaijan, which doesn’t recognize the elections in NKR “has much more serious problems from the point of view of compliance to these values.”

Mnatsakanian was speaking at an event at the International Centre for Human Development (ICHD) in Yerevan. The event focused on the report of the Group of Eminent Persons of the Council of Europe "Living together. Combining diversity and freedom in 21st-century Europe". Mnatsakanian was until recently Armenia's Permanent Representative to the Council of Europe.
