/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgian President's statements on demonstrating
respectful attitude towards Azerbaijan's state sovereignty testify to
his unawareness of the essence of Karabakh conflict, Neo-Conservative
Movement leader Eduard Abrahamyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"The thing's that Armenians have never called the issue into question,
despite having grounds to do so. That first of all applies to the
indigenous ethnic groups who were actually banned from expressing their
will with regard to the country's sovereignty. The Transcaucasian
Turks, i.e. Azeris, have actually seized power there and are now
conducting assimilation and ethnic cleansing policy," he said.
"As regards Azerbaijan's position on NKR state sovereignty, I can
characterize it as disdain for NKR Armenians' right to free will
expression. Before the collapse of Soviet Union, those people made
decision to create their independent statehood, and sought to achieve
that base purely on USSR legislation and international law norms.
Hence, Saakashvili should not have made statements on Azerbaijan's
disrespectful attitude towards NKR state sovereignty," Neo-Conservative
leader said.
