Armenian Deputy FM Shavarsh Kocharyan commented on Azerbaijan’s
Ilhaam Aliyev’s statement made at a joint news conference with his
Serbian counterpart that Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh can’t have
self-determination right. According to Armenian MFA PR department
Armenian Deputy FM has particularly said:

`Azerbaijan’s President should have before known that according to the
international rights not the nations are self-determined but the
peoples. Otherwise according to the thesis inherited from his father
together with the chair, the Turks and Azerbaijani are one nation,
since Azerbaijan can’t have independence.’
