/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `We think that fair resolution of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is respect for the will
of the people living on that territory. That is why it
would be reasonable for Azerbaijan to recognize
Karabakh as independent state or as a part of Armenia,
like it was after the revolution when Narimanov
acknowledged the right of Karabakhi people to
self-determination,’ said Ara Abrahamyan, President of
the Union of Armenians of Russia.
`Alas, quite a different opinion on the issue prevails
in Baku at present. As to comparison of economic
potential of the two republics, Azerbaijan threatens
to use its resources to resolve the problem by use of
force. We understand that Azerbaijan has oil and gas
but Armenia has always been remarkable for
technological potential and diligence,’ he said.
`I think that present-day economy is the economy of
knowledge and high technologies. The blockade has
urged Armenia on rapid development. This republic will
create a structure meeting the requirements of highly
developed states like Japan, which had to compensate
lack of oil, gas, metal and gold by achievements in
science,’ Mr Abrahamyan resumed, Day.az reports.
