/PanARMENIAN.Net/ NKR is fixed as de facto independent state in Madrid
principles, Noravank Scientific Educational Foundation Director,
Gagik Harutyunyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
"The principles specify NKR as an independent unit, which has
to be given a status of an independent state," Gagik Harutyunyan
emphasized. At the same time, the expert noted, that principles
contain mention of NKR territory, yet nothing is said about lands
which once belonged to Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Region and are
now controlled by Azerbaijan.
"Besides, the document doesn’t stipulate for any mechanism for the
return of refugees and allocation of peacemaking forces in conflict
zone," Gagik Harutyunayn emphasized.
According to Armenian expert, for the moment, official Yerevan is
taking the upper hand in diplomatic game, which is proved by the fact
of NKR being fixed as an independent state in Madrid principles.
