/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Democracy, Homeland and ARFD - Movement 88 factions
of the Nagorno Karabakh National Assembly adopted a declaration on
occasion of proclamation of independence by Kosovo's parliament on
February 17, 2008.
The declaration reads:
"Defending the right to free self-determination;
Welcoming the stand of the international community in respecting the
human and civil rights of the majority of Kosovo's population;
Noting that the Azerbaijani authorities have been systematically
carrying out a policy of discrimination, civil rights restriction,
ethnic cleansing and deportation against the indigenous Armenian
people of Nagorno Karabakh for many decades, thus forcing formation
of organized self-defense;
Considering that, in this way, from the moment of legal decline of
the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan has lost all legal and moral rights to
exercise governmental authority over Nagorno Karabakh;
Regretting the human and other losses during the conflict and,
especially, in the stage of armed confrontation;
Hoping that it is possible to achieve a mutually acceptable solution
through negotiations, which would guarantee the international
recognition of Nagorno Karabakh's free self-determination;
We call on the parliaments of all countries to be consistent in
recognition of states formed on the grounds of the right of peoples
to self-determination and to refrain from applying double standards."
