    Nagorno-Karabakh has right to self-determination - Armenian president

    YEREVAN Feb 12


    There is no reason for Nagorno-Karabakh to be part of Azerbaijan,
    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.

    "Nagorno-Karabakh cannot be part of Azerbaijan. There are no legal or
    historical reasons for it, nor do the people of Nagorno-Karabakh want
    it," Sargsyan said at the fourth convention of the Prospering Armenia
    Party in Yerevan on Thursday.

    "Our position on the Karabakh conflict is clear: the people of
    Nagorno-Karabakh has the right to self-determination and has exercised
    this right. We also believe that the there is no alternative to the
    peaceful resolution," he said.

    Azerbaijan and the international community must recognize the Karabakh
    people's right to self-determination, he said.

    "We are fighting for this right to be recognized and the only way is
    through talks. The Nagorno-Karabakh republic is our native land, it
    has no value, you cannot trade in it," the Armenian president said.

    There are positive prospects for the Armenian-Turkish relations, he
    said. "There is a good opportunity to normalize our relations with
    Turkey, and we must use that opportunity," Sargsyan said.
