The "Shushi" foundation (Shushi-the name for the Azerbaijani city of
Shusha occupied by Armenians) calls on the world community to recognize
"Nagorno Karabakh" as a party for negotiations.
The "Shushi" charity foundation calls on the powers of Armenia and
"NKR", as well as the OSCE Minsk group, UN, European parliament and
other international structures to promote restoration of the violated
right of the "Nagorno karabakh people" and recognize "NKR" as a
party to the negotiation process on the Karabakh conflict settlement,
said head of the "Shushi" foundation Bakur Karapetyan.
He said the "Movement for Justice" has been created by initiative of
the "Shushi" foundation for the purpose.
"In 1988 Azerbaijan declared war to "Nagorno Karabakh" and it turns
out that after the war Karabakh is a party for the conflict. At the
initial stage, this was like that but now Nagorno karabakh is not
involved into the negotiation process and Armenia is a party.
It all creates an impression of the world community that Armenia is an
aggressor and it occupied the Azerbaijani lands", said Karapetyan and
added that considering this situation, official Baku is setting itself
up for a victim and demands from Yerevan to restore the territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan.
According to the head of the "Shushi" foundation, the Armenian
political elite, speaking as a party in the conflict, is now in a
diplomatic trap, set by Azerbaijan and Turkey.
"Article 8 of the Helsinki final act, adopted in 1975, says that
"the right of people for self-determination is a vitally important
principle".
In fact, the right of people for self-determination is a common
international law. Taking this into account, Baku and Ankara have
deliberately excluded Karabakh from the negotiation process and
replaced it with Armenia. In fact, Armenia must speak only as a
mediator and guarantor of security of its people", noted Karapetyan
and added that today they do not demand from official Yerevan to
recognize independence of "NKR" as it will cause new problems.
"We just want "Nagorno Karabakh" to restore its right and take part
in the talks on the conflict settlement, but the Moscow declaration
made it clear that the Karabakh side has been completely excluded
from this process", noted Karapetyan.
