Q: A "parliamentary election" was held in the Nagorno-Karabakh area on May 23. How do you comment?

A: China's position on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is clear and consistent, and remains unchanged. China hopes that the relevant parties find a solution acceptable to all through consultations and dialogues based on the universally recognized principles of international law and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh issue peacefully. This not only serves the interests of Azerbaijan and Armenia, but also contributes to regional peace, stability and development.
