The Armenian-Romanian relations in the field of education are rooted
on similarities of civilization rather than geopolitical and economic
interests, Armenian Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan
declared in Bucharest today, asked to comment on the statement of
the Romanian President in Baku and Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister's
response.
Armen Ashotyan reminded that according to the approach of the
Minsk Group Co-Chairs, the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh
conflict is based on three main principles - the right of peoples to
self-determination, territorial integrity and non-use of force.
Using its right to determine its own future, the people of Nagorno
Karabakh has long made the decision and no opinion that goes against
the position of the international community and is made to flatter
the Azerbaijani authorities can have any influence on the fate of
the people of Karabakh, Ashotyan said.
The Romanian President declared in Baku that the Karabakh issue should
be solved on the basis of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. In
response to that Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan
declared: I would not like to believe that the President of an
EU member state could have made such a biased and non-constructive
statement. If he has really declared that, it contradicts the approach
of the international community, the OSCE and the European Union, as
well as the statement adopted at the presidential meetings in Helsinki,
Athens and Almati, the Astana summit, the joint statements issued
by Presidents Medvedev, Obama and Sarkozy in L'Aquila and Muskoka,
which clearly state that the status of Nagorno Karabakh should be
determined on the basis of free expression of will. Such statement
of the Romanian President is simply bewildering."
