ArmInfo.Artsakh State Minister Artak Beglaryan reacted to the speech of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the World Baku Forum.
Thus, Aliyev, in particular, stated: There is no "Nagorno-Karabakh". The Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region was abolished at the end of 1991 by the decision of the Azerbaijani Parliament. There is no such administrative structure in our territory". "Yes, There is no "Nagorno-Karabakh"., because there is the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Republic, and it is a subject of international law, although not formally recognized at the international level," Beglaryan wrote in his Telegram channel.
As the state minister noted, the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict has not been resolved and will not be resolved until Azerbaijan takes into account the adamant right of the indigenous people of Artsakh to self- determination. "The issue of international recognition (hence, status) of the Republic of Artsakh will sooner or later be resolved, and Artsakh will never be part of Azerbaijan," he stressed.
Beglaryan advised Aliyev instead of "worrying" about the rights of Armenians, to think more about the conscientious exercise of the powers granted to him by the Constitution of Azerbaijan, guaranteeing the rights of his own citizens (including Lezgins, Talysh, Avars, Tatars, Tats and other minorities).
"Maybe Aliyev suddenly remembers what happened to more than 500,000 Armenians in Soviet Azerbaijan, or is there at least one Armenian in the territories of Artsakh occupied by Azerbaijan?", he said.
