Nagorno-Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan, and presently lies under the occupation of Armenia, the Head of the Turkish Delegation in PACE, Murat Merjan, stated, commenting on so-called referendum held in Nagorno-Karabakh, Trend reports.
Merjan said that the Council of Europe has expressed its attitude towards this issue. Hundreds of Azerbaijanis have been evicted from this territory and therefore, the referendum held there has no importance because the population presently residing there cannot represent Nagorno-Karabakh.
