ArmInfo. Karabakh Problem is not a territorial issue, this is an issue, this is a matter of human rights, and the matter id the nations self-determination right, Armenian Foreign Ministry head Edward Nalbandyan stated in his interview to Deutche Welle.
According to Nalbandyan, this conflict derives from others existing with the fact that USA, Russia and France, which come out in some meaning on behalf of European Union, stand at the same positions. "They have developed and offered to the conflict,"Nalbandyan said. Both sides a common approach regarding the settlement of this problem. And the sides of the conflict are first Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh, as well as Armenia. We stated and we state that we are ready to move forward based on this. "n distinct to
Armenian position, Azerbaijan pretends that there were no statement made by the leaders and the foreign ministers of the countries mentioned," the Minister stated, adding that the conflict should be settled based on three principles: no military enforcement or any threat of that, nations self determination and territorial integrity of countries. "As you know, Azerbaijan keeps scaring every day , and not only scaring, but applying military power as well,"Nalbandyan mentioned.
"If the interpretation offered by Azerbaijan would be used, now we would not have so many UN member countries, which became independent states using their self determination right," Nalbandyan mentioned adding that the essence of karabakh problem is the self determination of Nagorno Karabakh, which held a referendum in 1992 to implement the right mentioned. "The international community states one thing and Azerbaijan states quite another. The population of Nagorno Karabakh should decide on its own - how to live and what future will it have. We continue to carry on the negotiations based on Madrid principles, which have been offered yet in 2007. But every time we reach any agreement, Azerbaijan makes a step back," Nalbandyan said.
