YEREVAN, July 21. /ARKA/.Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s self-determination
right doesn’t hamper Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, Alexander
Manasyan, professor to Yerevan State University, said Thursday in
Yerevan, at a seminar focused on Karabakh problem.
"Nagorno Karabakh has never been a part of Azerbaijan and needs no
Baku’s permit for its self-determination", he said.
In his opinion, Azerbaijan has no powers to rule Karabakh, since
in 1991, when Azerbaijan declared its independence, there was not
a single Baku’s document mentioning extent of its territories and
nowhere Karabakh was mentioned as part of Azerbaijan.
The seminar was held by Armenian Association of Studying Conflicts
and Peace. M.V.-0—
