Parliamentary elections were held in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic on 3 May 2015.[1]
Nagorno-Karabakh declared its independence from Azerbaijan in 1991. The First Nagorno-Karabakh War 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.[2]
More than 100 representatives from 30 countries observed the elections.[3]
Azerbaijan, the European Union, the United States and Turkey all said that they did not recognise the elections.[4] [1] [5]
