Offering ethnic minority status within Azerbaijan is “a vision detached from reality,” says Nagorno-Karabakh

YEREVAN, AUGUST 18, ARMENPRESS. Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Minister Sergey Ghazaryan has commented on the document posted online which is allegedly Russia’s latest offer after a trilateral meeting with Armenia and Azerbaijan, which envisages the status of ethnic minority for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh within Azerbaijan.

Ghazaryan said Nagorno-Karabakh hasn’t officially received any such document.

“We’ve very clearly said that this is a vision detached from reality,” Ghazaryan said, referring to a status of ethnic minority within Azerbaijan. “This isn’t simply our opinion, the realities on the ground attest to this. If any of the mediators had such hopes, then by seeing the consequences of Azerbaijan’s policy, when 120,000 people are starving, when Azerbaijan is making belligerent statements every day, making threats of force, seeing how the Armenian historical-cultural heritage is being destroyed, no mediator has any grounds to claim that offers of such visions would be possible to realize,” Ghazaryan said.
