2015 Nagorno-Karabakh parliamentary election


Parliamentary elections were held in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic on 3 May 2015.

Background

Nagorno-Karabakh declared its independence from Azerbaijan in 1991. A conflict took place between 1988 and 1994 which resulted in Nagorno-Karabakh, with Armenian support, becoming de facto independent from Azerbaijan. However it has not been internationally recognised and Azerbaijan still claims the area as part of its state.

Conduct

More than 100 representatives from 30 countries observed the elections.

Results

Reactions
