TIGRAN TOROSYAN: TENDENCY OF RECOGNIZING NKR PEOPLES’ RIGHT TO
SELF-DETERMINATION IS OBSERVED IN THE WORLD

YEREVAN, MARCH 29. ARMINFO. A tendency of recognizing the NKR peoples’
right to self-determination is observed in the world, stated
Vice-Speaker of Armenian National Assembly, Head of Armenian
delegation to PACE Tigran Torosyan at today’s parliamentary hearings.

He stressed that NKR get its independence exactly on the base of a
referendum held in accordance with standards of international law.
Hence, the idea of NKR’s independence is acceptable for PACE.
Torosyan stressed that on the first stage the Armenian party should
agree on NKR’s independence. “However, it does not mean that we do not
aspire to see Karabakh associate to Armenia later”, he said. Torosyan
also noted that the Karabakh conflict differs from all other ones and
a varied approach should be applied regarding it.

He stated that an absolutely new situation is formed around the
Karabakh conflict at present. In his words, increase of interest of
international community to this problem, public discussions of ways of
conflict’s settlement in Armenia and Azerbaijan, frequented political
speculations in both countries, and the change of Azeri strategy in
Karabakh issue prove it. Torosyan noted that Azerbaijan plays a double
game in this issue: in international structures it represents itself
as a victim to gain sympathies of international community, and, at the
same time, it makes military and agressive statements directed
exceptionally to the internal use to strengthen positions of Ilham
Aliev in inter-clannish quarrels developed in Azerbaijan. -r-
