Territorial integrity cannot be opposed to the right of peoples to self-determination, Armenian deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan has said.

The comment comes after PACE President Pedro Agramunt declared at a meeting with Chairman of Azerbaijan’s Parliament that “all conflict must be solved within the territorial integrity of the countries.”

“It would be preferable for an international official of that level to be familiar with the fundamental document of the international law – the UN Charter, according to which the territorial integrity cannot be opposed to the right of people to self-determination,” Kocharyan said in comments to Armenpress.
