The Ukrainian MFA statement reads that Ukraine does not recognize the May 3 Nagorno-Karabakh parliamentary elections and considers them illegitimate.
"Results of elections, that have been held on occupied Azerbaijani territories, cannot have legal consequences. Ukraine favours the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict basing on regard for sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders", reads the statement.
To note, during the UN General Assembly Armenia voted for the independence of the peninsula.
