YEREVAN (YERKIR) – The international community must recognize the right
of Nagorno Karabakh people to self-determination, ARF Dashnaktsutyun
representative and Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on Foreign
Relations Armen Roustamyan stated during a press conference in Yerevan.
He said, the matter is not about contradictions between principals of
territorial integrity and the right of nations to self-determination.
"The population of Nagorno Karabakh cannot return to a country, where
it was being exposed to systematic genocide. Yes, Karabakh has never
been a part of independent Azerbaijan.
And we must bring this very fact to the international community,"
Roustamyan stressed. He also underlined that currently Armenia has
a task to reach to international recognition of the NKR. "Armenia’s
actions in connection with NKR’s and Armenian Genocide recognition
by the international community must be similar. Only then we can
reach success in solution of our problems," the ARF Dashnaktsutyun
representative said.
