TERRY DAVIS IS WRONG

Politics

NKR Foreign Minister Arman Meliqyan has commented on the announcements about the settlement of the Karabahk conflict made in Warsaw. The information has been submitted by the NKR Foreign Ministry press service.

- Recently Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis has stated that Nagorno Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan. How would You comment on this statement?

- I must note that Mr. Davis is himself mistaken and automatically deceives the international community. That's why it is useful to remind that Nagorno Karabakh has never been in the structure of independent Azerbaijan and, correspondingly, the Nagorno Karabakh Republic is not its integral part. Once Nagorno Karabakh was in the structure of the joint Soviet state and in the process of the collapse of the USSR it proclaimed its independence in the strick correspondence with international norms. As for the international recognition of the independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, in my opinion, it's only an issue of time.

- How much is the statement of Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov as if Armenia agreed to free 7 former administrative regions of Azerbaijan, motivated and what consequences can it have?

- One shouldn’t have any illusions in this issue. The statements of the Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs can create a false idea in certain international circles on the real frames of responsibility of the participants of the negotiations. All the issues related to the territories which are under the NKR control must be regulated only on the base of resolutions adopted by the people of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and its elected authorities.
