Azerbaijan Comments on the Unfairness of Elections in the Tskhinvali Region

Azerbaijan does not recognize the so-called "presidential elections" held on November 18 in the Tskhinvali region of Georgia and their results. This statement was made in a declaration by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Azerbaijan Republic once again confirms its support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia and does not recognize the so-called 'presidential elections' held on November 18 in the Tskhinvali region of Georgia, as well as their results," the statement says.

The so-called presidential elections were held on November 18 in the self-proclaimed Republic of South Ossetia. Tbilisi considers the region part of Georgia, occupied by Russia.

The results of the elections were not recognized by the European Union. The EU noted that the so-called elections do not have the legitimacy of the European Union.
