The Nagorno Karabakh people’s right to self-determination is the key
issue of the Nagorno Karabakh settlement, and it is irreversible,
stated RA FM Vardan Oskanyan in an interview with Armenian Shant TV
Company. In his words, Baku will touch upon the problem, “as it is
an issue of the agenda, and Azerbaijan is being turned the heat on in
this connection”. Vardan Oskanyan added connection between the right
to self-determination and the moment of settlement of all the aspects
of the conflict should be determined. “If we manage to formulate the
connection correctly and come to a compromise decision, there will
be advance in the process; otherwise it will imply that Azerbaijan
remains on maximalist positions and there will be no shifts in the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement”, RA FM said. He stressed Armenia
had already made concessions on its part, which had not been easy. “I
do not know how our nation will perceive it”, noted V. Oskanyan.
