BAKU. Feb 16 (Interfax) - Baku regards as a provocation Yerevan's plan to conduct a referendum on constitutional amendments in the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Vice Premier Ali Akhmedov said.
"International organizations will not recognize the so-called referendum held by the self-proclaimed regime set up by Armenia in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and its outcome. This is another provocation by Yerevan that will complicate the settlement of the conflict," Akhmedov said to journalists on Thursday.
Nagorno-Karabakh is an inseparable part of Azerbaijan and this is not subject to discussion, he said.
"The leadership of Azerbaijan has declared many times that it will not permit the formation of a second Armenian state in its territory," he said.
