As part of his official visit to Romania, Armenian Minister of Science
and Education Armen Ashotyan met with Romanian Minister of Education,
Research and Innovation Daniel Funeriu.
During a press conference following the meeting, Ashotyan was
asked to comment on the Romanian President's statement in Baku about
Nagorno Karabakh and say whether it will hamper the Armenian-Romanian
cooperation in the field of education.
Ashotyan said that the bilateral cooperation with Romania in the
field is based on civilized commonalities, but not on geopolitical
and economic interests.
Ashotyan noted that the Karabakh conflict settlement is based on
three main principles - the nation's right to self-determination,
peace settlement of conflicts and territorial integrity.
According to the Minister, Karabakh people, using the right to decide
on their own destiny, made a decision long ago, while any opinion,
which contradicts this decision and stance of the international
community, cannot affect the fate of Artsakh.
On April 20, during his visit to Azerbaijan, Romanian President said
that Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan.
