YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS: Authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh refrained from setting up a polling station in Russian Moscow for its citizens who will be asked on December 10 to go to the polling stations to cast ballots in a constitutional referendum.
A deputy foreign minister of Nagorno-Karabakh, Mayis Mailian, cited instances of fierce Azeri protests over cultural events organized by Karabakh authorities in Moscow lately. “Just imagine what Azeris in Moscow would do should we try to set up a polling stations there,” he said to Armenpress.

Raya Nazarian, the press secretary of the Central Election Commission of Nagorno-Karabakh, said a polling station will open at the permanent representation of Karabakh in Yerevan. She said 300 Karabakh citizens have already registered there.
Seven international organizations and nine local ones have registered with CEC to watch the December 10 referendum which will be covered by 55 Armenian and foreign journalists.
