REPRESENTATIVES OF ARMENIAN INTERNET RESOURCES HOPE FOR MUTUALLY
ACCEPTABLE AND JUST SOLUTION OF KARABAKH PROBLEM IN THE FRAME OF
PRAGUE PROCESS
YEREVAN, May 24. /ARKA/. Representatives of Armenian internet
resources hope for mutually acceptable and just solution of Karabakh
problem in the frame of Prague process that will take into account the
interests of all sides of the conflict, Armenian internet resources’
representatives say in their joint statement sent Tuesday to ARKA News
Agency on Prague negotiation process and principles of Karabakh
conflict settlement. “We see no contradiction between the principles
of nation self-determination right and territorial integrity. Both
principles can be applied in Karabakh problem solution”, the statement
says. Internet resources representatives also stressed in their
statement that Armenian side has never come up with territorial claims
to Azerbaijan: it means Azerbaijan’s borders can remain intact. On the
other hand, international law provides full and unconditional right to
nations to reach self-determination as a result of democratic process
and this very right was used by Artsakh people casing their votes for
sovereign independent state in the 1991 referendum. “Regardless
Azerbaijan Republic’s, Armenia’s or any other country’s consent or
disagreement, Artsakh people wish was expressed in the most democratic
way and completely conformed to former soviet and current
international law”, the statement says. In connection with that, the
statement emphasizes that any haggling, pressure and blackmailing are
absolutely unacceptable either to Armenian or Azeri nation. “The
right to determine its future fully belongs to people residing on
their territories – to Armenians and Azerbaijanis. Even decisions made
by heads of states without taking into account public opinion will be
considered illegitimate and not subject to implementation”, the
internet resources representatives say.
