Azerbaijani president had no right to vote in Stepanakert 

ArmInfo. RA Ambassador-at-Large Edmon Marukyan posted the following message on his X account: 

"Today, during the snap presidential elections of Azerbaijan, Ilham  Aliyev arranged his voting in the city of Stepanakert,  Nagorno-Karabakh. According to Azerbaijani legislation, Ilham Aliyev  was never registered in Stepanakert to be eligible for vote there.  What is remarkable here is that Aliyev first started an unprovoked  war against the peaceful people of Nagorno-Karabakh and then  ethnically cleansed the people whom he called citizens of Azerbaijan.  Now, he went to the ethnically cleansed city of Stepanakert, where  there are no people to participate in the elections and participated  in the elections with his family.  "The international community has  first silently followed the unprovoked attack on the peaceful people,  then the ethnic cleansing of more than 100,000 people, then started  to call the ethnically cleansed city of Stepanakert - Khankendi at  the request of Azerbaijan. However, according to all international  laws, including the obligations committed by Azerbaijan before the  Council of Europe, the names cannot be changed without the decision  of the local population. But what are we talking about when now they  are going to tolerate the voting of the Azeri president in an  ethnically cleansed city, without even threatening to apply  international sanctions for the carried out crimes against the people  of Nagorno Karabakh."
