/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Statements that the destiny of Karabakh is in the
hands of world powers demonstrate disbelief and lack of professionalism
in analysis of global political processes. The history of Armenia
has shown that confidence in decisions of the world powers results
in calamity, an NKR official said.
"Determination of Nagorno Karabakh's status is the exclusive right
of its people, who hold the key to their homeland. The issue has been
already resolved through formation of independent Karabakh Republic,"
Ruben Zargaryan, historian and adviser to Foreign Minister of the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"The Nagorno Karabakh Republic is a state with its own national
interests, the fact acknowledged by many countries," he said, adding
that The Convention on the Rights and Duties of States was a treaty
(which was later accepted as part of customary international law)
signed at Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 1933 reads that "the
political existence of the state is independent of recognition by
the other states."
The Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict can't be resolved without soonest
recognition of NKR independence and its full-fledged participation in
talks. At that, NKR recognition should be the starting point but not
the final one. Upon fulfillment of these two fundamental conditions,
other complicated issues such as territories, refugees and borders,
according to Zargaryan.
"Independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic cannot be questioned. A
peace agreement meeting the interests of the people of Artsakh
and Azerbaijan should be signed as soon as possible. To secure
international recognition of Karabakh, systematic and purposeful work
is needed," he said.
