/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Representatives of the Azerbaijani mass media,
having no idea of the details of the peaceful process on the
Karabakh problem and its political-legal aspects, publish articles,
in which the information of official Stepanakert is misconstrued. As a
result, an atmosphere, hindering the understanding of human values
and considering any alternative means and goals is created in the
Azerbaijani society. It is doubtless that the search of mutually
profitable and fair settlement of the Karabakh conflict is possible
only via establishment of effective communication between the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the Azerbaijani Republic. In this
connection, it should be re-emphasized that any settlement of the
Karabakh conflict, the current stage of which started with such
humanitarian calamity as mass killings of Armenians in Sumgait and
Baku, as well as further ethnic cleansing, deportation and banishment
of nearly 500 000 Armenian citizens of the former Azerbaijani SSR
in 1988-1990, must, first of all, propose restoration of justice
and reparation of the moral and financial losses to these people,
including recognition of their right for having their Motherland. The
Azerbaijani leadership is entirely responsible for unleashing the
military activities and their results, including the issue of paying
reparations to all the refugees and IDP’s, suffered from these
actions, regardless of their nationality and current citizenship.
Starting with humanitarian calamity, the Karabakh conflict must be
settled just in the humanitarian dimension, in full accordance with
the fundamental principles and goals of international law.
