VARDAN OSKANYAN: NAGORNO KARABAKH PEOPLE HAVE PROVED THEY CAN PROTECT
THEIR INDEPENDENCE
`Self - determination is a man's right. Nagorno Karabakh people have
struggled and protected their right to self - determination. To
achieve the aim Nagorno Karabakh people resisted political and
military aggression of the government (of Azerbaijan - ed.) that did
not perceive the choice and tried to oppress it using violence', RA
Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said speaking at the 60th session of
the UN General Assembly.
According to the Minister, the struggle for the rights was not
Nagorno Karabakh people's choice. `Their rights were neither abstract
nor excessive. Nagorno Karabakh people strive for what a lot of us
have, - the right to peaceful life on their own land free from
violence. Since then Nagorno Karabakh people have displayed their
ability to govern, develop democratic institutes and protect their
independence', stressed RA Foreign Minister.
Vardan Oskanyan emphasized under conditions of regional conflicts
belligerent statements (of Azerbaijan - ed.) were unreal and
expressed obvious lack of perception of the notions of democracy,
human rights and legal society.
