"Time is ripe for having serious discussions over the nations' right
to self-determination.
We are far from the idea that any claim for self-determination should
be satisfied through secessions. But I also see that more often
than not this becomes the key to the settlement of the existing
conflicts. And nonetheless, when the people reach the stage of
exercising this inseparable right of theirs, all unanimously begin
to consider the given case as an 'exception'.
Of course, any secession required for exercising the right to
self-determination in an effective and stable manner should be based
upon the agreement of all the parties involved. That's why we are
continuing the active talks with Azerbaijan in an effort to achieve
that country's recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, which
has lived in the status of a de facto independent state for almost
two decades," Serge Sargsyan said yesterday in the 63rd session of
the UN General Assembly.
