YEREVAN, MARCH 3, ARMENPRESS. President of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) Arayik Harutyunyan saluted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for backing Nagorno Karabakh’s right to self-determination.

On March 2, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for a peaceful settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict that would respect the territorial integrity of Armenia and Azerbaijan and the right to self-determination of the residents of Nagorno Karabakh.

President of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan took to twitter Friday to welcome Scholz’s remarks.

“We welcome Olaf Scholz’s statement that the conflict should be settled peacefully on the basis of equal principles of [territorial] integrity & right to self-determination of the Nagorno-Karabakh people. Settlement is impossible without fully considering our fundamental/collective rights,” President Harutyunyan tweeted.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
