    Armenian official urges Azerbaijan to recognize Karabakh's self-determination

    Yerevan, 21 April: "We would be very pleased if the Azerbaijani
    Foreign Ministry really positively responded to the statement made by
    Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan and considered it to be
    constructive. This would stimulate positive developments in the
    settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict," the press secretary of
    the Armenian Foreign Ministry, Gamlet Gasparyan, said in an interview
    with Armenpress news agency today.

    Azerbaijan's comments, in response to Oskanyan's recent statement
    that if Azerbaijan recognizes the right of the Nagornyy Karabakh
    people to determine its future status, Armenia will be ready to
    seriously discuss the elimination of the consequences of the war,
    showed that nothing had changed in Azerbaijan's position, he said. As
    soon as someone speaks about the right of the Nagornyy Karabakh
    people to self-determination, everyone in Azerbaijan plunges into
    deep nostalgia for Soviet times and dreams of "the highest degree of
    autonomy". Oskanyan has repeatedly clearly expressed Armenia's
    position on this issue, which envisages the recognition by Azerbaijan
    of the right of the Karabakh people to self-determination in order to
    achieve mutual understanding and then discussions on the elimination
    of the consequences of the war.

    "I regret that instead of accepting this reality, Azerbaijan still
    cherishes empty hopes," Gasparyan said.
