Armenian speaker urges solving Karabakh problem with self-determination
YEREVAN March 11
It is necessary to settle the Karabakh conflict through
self-determination of the Karabakh people, Armenian Parliament Speaker
Hovik Abrahamyan said at the Yerevan seminar of the NATO Parliamentary
Assembly on Thursday.
"The Karabakh conflict must be settled on principles of
self-determination of the Karabakh people, in keeping with
international laws," he said.
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the right of peoples
to self-determination at the 64th session on December 18, 2009, the
speaker noted.
"The resolution once again confirmed the need for applying this
international legal principle to the solution of the Karabakh
conflict," he said.
