Political analyst Alexander Manasyan said that the people’s right to
self-determination is a trap for us in some respects. According to
him, the Republic of Artsakh was formed in 1991 at the territories,
which legally had not belonged to Azerbaijan, Manasyan told a press
conference in Yerevan.

“This is a sound argument, and we have replaced it by the people’s
right to self-determination, which supposes that Nagorno Karabakh used
to be a legal part of Azerbaijan once,” said Minasyan, adding that
this approach should be changed and new emphasis should be placed in
the process of Karabakh conflict resolution.

Referring to the European Parliament’s Report on the South Caucasus,
Manasyan said that it is a result of the Armenian authorities’
inactivity.
