Azerbaijan had many opportunities to make sure that the end of the
war isn’t always conditioned by the quantity of arms or money. Tigran
Torosian, Speaker of RA National Assembly, said this at today’s
meeting with the representatives of the Armenian youth. He emphasized
that in 90-ies, in the course of the military actions in the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict zone, Azerbaijan was stronger thanks to its military
capacity, but only the people who fought a war for the sake of their
homeland took the victory. He added that since the end of 20th the
political situation is quite changed and there are international
game rules that one should take into account. As for the militant
statements of Azerbaijan, Torosian conditioned them by the lack of
Baku’s will to recognize the independence of NKR. "But Baku realizes
that there are no preconditions or prospects for resumption of the
war," he emphasized. He also focused the attention to the fact that
the international community more frequently gives preference to the
people’s right for self-determination. He underscored that NKR people
achieved their independence in accordance with the international law
and the legislation of USSR.
