The joint statement of the parliamentary groups and factions of the
National Assembly of Nagorno Karabakh Republic on the settlement of
the Karabakh-Azerbaijani conflict
The parliamentary factions of Democracy and Hayrenik and the
parliamentary group ARF-Movement 88 of the National Assembly of
Nagorno Karabakh Republic,
reporting
compliance of the Declaration of Nagorno Karabakh Republic and all the
legal and political steps, emanating from the NKR Declaration, with
the tenets of the international law and the legislation of the USSR;
emphasizing
that the Azerbaijani Republic did not use the opportunity to settle
all its problems with Nagorno Karabakh Republic through a dialogue,
and carried out a policy of ethnic intolerance, resorted to coercion,
and it has not given up the policy of resolving the conflict through
military means so far;
noting that
the peoples involved in the conflict suffered tremendous human and
material losses, and are still endangered by resumption of the armed
confrontation and its unpredictable consequences;
announcing
they are responsible for about half a million Armenians displaced by
violence and massacres in the former Soviet Socialist Republic of
Azerbaijan;
asserting
commitment to an overall resolution of the existing issues through
negotiations, which would enable preventing hostilities, and efforts
to change the agreements through force,
define the armed Karabakh-Azerbaijani conflict of 1991-1994 as
aggression of the Azerbaijani Republic against Nagorno Karabakh
Republic, further actions of NKR as self-defense of people which
underwent aggression, observation of the indivisible right set down in
Article 51 of the UN Conventions, and the current reality of the
conflict area as the consequences of this aggression;
find that Azerbaijan as an aggressor is responsible for the war it
waged and its consequences, the fate of hundreds of thousands of
people of the conflict parties displaced by military actions, and
internally displaced persons, therefore it has to pay material and
moral damages, considering the factor of loss of homeland, independent
of ethnic identity;
starting
from the 1994 protocol of Bishkek on the ceasefire and the pact signed
in the same year, ratified by the envoys of Nagorno Karabakh Republic,
Azerbaijan, Armenia and the mediators, as well as the conclusions of
the OSCE Summit in Budapest and other documents in which Nagorno
Karabakh was recognized as a conflict party;
invite the OSCE Ministerial Council to honor the equal participation
of Nagorno Karabakh Republic in the talks for the settlement of the
conflict, for any agreement without NKR cannot have legal force;
believe that the recognition of independent, democratic and viable
Nagorno Karabakh Republic, established under the results of the
universal referendum of December 10, 1991, by the international
community is the current reality and will become an important factor
of regional stability and security;
inform the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, the parliaments of the OSCE Minsk
Group members, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the Council of Europe,
NATO, the European Parliament.
On behalf of the parliamentary factions of Democracy and Hayrenik and
ARF-Movement 88 parliamentary group of the National Assembly of
Nagorno Karabakh Republic about the adoption of this document,
