/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Elmar Mammadyarov’s statement on readiness to provide
Nagorno Karabakh highest autonomy in the world, including that equal to
Tatarstan status in Russia, if it is not a regular propagandistic step,
by the essence means the readiness of the leadership of Azerbaijan to
federalize the country, stated NKR FM Georgy Petrosyan. In his words,
from that point of view it is possible to express hope, that the status
in question will be given to Lezghins, Talishs and other people, living
in Azerbaijan. "As of the NKR, with whom the Azerbaijani leadership
continues to avoid any contacts, it is necessary to emphasize, that
official Baku cannot give any status to Nagorno Karabakh, as the given
issue does not enter into the competence of Azerbaijan. The status of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is determined within the legal framework of
the people living here. The essence of Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict
is concluded in the fact, that Azerbaijani side turned out to be
non-capable to solve similar issues in a civilized way and resorted
to armed aggression.
Official Baku continues to ignore the existing reality, concluded in
the fact, that the NKR independence is the most superior value of the
Republic’s people, which is being supported at national referendum
on state independence on December 10, 1991. The NKR people not only
protected their right to deal with their own fortune in the course of
the war, imposed on them, but for the last 15 years as minimum 7 times
confirmed their will by the means of democratic national presidential
and parliamentary elections, conducted in the NKR, when the electorate
voted for the programs of separate candidates and political parties,
appealing for the Republic’s state independence". The status of
