YEREVAN, JANUARY 9, NOYAN TAPAN. The Nagorno Karabakh settlement
remains one of the priorities of the RA foreign policy, RA Foreign
Minister Vardan Oskanian stated at the January 9 press conference.
According to him, Armenia has remained loyal to the principle adopted
by it, that is, the stipulation and international recognition of
Nagorno Karabakh people's self-determination right is the basis of
the problem's settlement.
He said that the admission of this fact and its stipulation by
a document will permit to start problem's settlement, including
liquidation of conflict's consequences.
According to the Minister, in spite of Azerbaijan's commitments to
continue the negotiations, in 2007 Azerbaijan continued its efforts of
moving the Nagorno Karabakh problem to other international structures,
bellicose statements contradicting the spirit of negotiations,
unbridled anti-Armenian propaganda inside the country, as well as
hampering work of representatives of international organizations in
the region.
"Armenia not only counteracted, but also managed to secure Nagorno
Karabakh people's self-determination right in the international arena,"
the RA Foreign Minister assured.
