Support A1+!Vladimir Karapetian, Ministry Acting Spokesperson responds to a question by “Panarmenian.net”
Question.- Recently, in speaking about possible progress in the Nagorno Karabakh settlement process,there has been repeated reference to the return of territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh. According to certain news sources, US Co-chair of the Minsk Group, Matt Bryza, has also made a similar statement just recently
Answer.- Regardless of who says what, we can only repeat what we have frequently explained: that unless the issue of the status of Nagorno Karabakh is clarified, and the right of self-determination is fully assured, and unless an irrevocable geographic link between Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia is secured, we are not ready to talk about tertiary issues.
