International Court of Justice ruling on Kosovo independence legally
confirmed that people's right to self-determination does not violate
norms and principles of international law, including territorial
integrity principle, Artsakh Foreign Ministry statement said.
`The resolution is very important both from political and moral
viewpoint, its precedent- related significance not to be limited by
Kosovo instance. Having fulfilled its right to formation of
independent state, Artsakh people had to resist Azeri military
aggression, leaving thousands of victims and refugees. These actions
have yet to be assessed by international community,' the statement
emphasized.
While confronting Baku's aggressive policy, Karabakh people continue
with formation of a democratic state, integral to South Caucasus
regional security system.
`Artsakh people's right to decide on its own fate will undoubtedly be
recognized by international community. This right was fulfilled in
accordance with basic norms of international law,' the statement
concluded.
On 22 July, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory
opinion on Kosovo's declaration of independence. The ICJ ruled that a
declaration of independence does not violate any UN resolution or
international law.
