community acts illogically

ArmInfo. We cannot eliminate the consequences of this conflict
without addressing its causes. And when speaking about the causes: we
talk about recognising the people of Nagorno Karabakh’s right of self
determination: the recognition of this right and its implementation,
President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with Euronews
TV channel.
"I think the international community does not have a different vision.
History is well- known: Nagorno Karabakh was not a part of independent
Azerbaijan. It was the Caucasus Bureau of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union which attached Nagorno Karabakh to Azerbaijan. Why did
the international community acclaim the collapse of the Soviet Union
and not consider Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan and
Uzbekistan part and parcel of the Soviet Union? – still saying
Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan? It is not logical, is
it?", Armenian president said.
"The other problems will be solved rapidly after that. The Armenian
parts of this conflict, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, are profoundly
interested in a swift resolution of this conflict. But a sustainable
resolution that would allow for peace and security in the region, as
opposed to giving Azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh, which would spell the
end of its existence", S. Sargsyan resumed.
