Turkish Foreign Ministry "Condemns" Referendum in Karabakh
Turkey does not recognize the outcome of the referendum held in Karabakh, December 10. The statement made by Turkish Foreign Ministry says that the International Law and the World community will not recognize the adoption of constitution in Nagorno Karabakh, underlining, that Ankara does not recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, neither the "referendum" nor its outcome, The New Anatolian reports.

It's worth reminding that in the Constitutional referendum in Karabakh took part over 98 % of voters. The Organic Law, adopted in the referendum defines the NKR as a sovereign and independent state.
