ArmInfo.The constitutional referendum in Nagorno-Karabakh demonstrated a strong spirit of the people of Artsakh to implement democratic reforms. On February 21, in a press conference in Stepanakert said a member of the administrative district of Fresno California Andreas Borgeas.
He said that their delegation visited 8 polling stations and said that the results are impressive, and indeed deserves an Oscar. "I carried out an observation mission in different countries, but have never seen such indicators only 30-40% of the population are involved in electoral processes in Fresno, what we have seen here. This referendum is a surprisingly good example that one must be an active participant in the electoral process. Artsakh's people are resolute in this matter. With this referendum, Nagorno Karabakh showed to international community that it is a step ahead of other states", said the American observer.
In his turn, the Director of Research Center of California University of Berkeley Karin Mac Donald said that is not concerned that she will be included in the "black list" of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. "For me, it is not essential I believe that a democratic state does not give birth to such a list, and Azerbaijan is far from democracy. I would say more, my name has long been in the list".
