In fact, the spokesman for the Armenian Foreign Ministry has rather
confirmed the statement, made by the Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign
Minister Araz Azimov, as reported by the spokesman for Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibragim.

"The representative of the Armenian Foreign Ministry said that the
document includes a principle of self-determination. Araz Azimov also
stated that self-determination is possible, but must be realized
within the principle of territorial integrity. The Helsinki act,
adopted in 1975, is just for this purpose.

Paragraph 8 of the first section of the fact reads that the principle
of self-determination must exist in frames of the principle of
territorial integrity and should not contradict the UN charter and
international law. Azerbaijan’s position fully corresponds to this
paragraph", Kh.Ibragim said.

According to him, the principle of territorial integrity is also a
part of the document, discussed by Azerbaijan and Armenia.
