Self-proclaimed Nagorno- Karabakh has applauded Russia's recognition
of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
"This fully meets the principle of the self-determination of nations
and fundamental norms of international law recorded in founding
documents and legal acts of the United Nations, OSCE and other
international organizations," says a Wednesday statement of the
Foreign Ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh.
It says Stepanakert has warned many times that "the threat of force,
an excessive military buildup and determination to settle issues
for one's own benefit with the help of arms are fraught with a
humanitarian catastrophe."
The ministry statement voices hope that all sides interested in
establishing peace in the region will draw the right conclusions
from the latest developments in the South Caucasus and take practical
steps to resolve existing problems and restore regional stability by
peaceful means alone.
