The process of negotiations over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement confirms the idea that the NK people must direct their
fate on their own and their self-determination does not have any other
alternative, chairman of the National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan said
at the parliament sitting today. He reminded that the Armenian side
has many times states about readiness to reach the settlement of the
conflict through talks, "but it does not mean that any encroachment
against our territories and population will remain without response".
"Our people have many times proved its ability to equivalently combat
the wish of those who want to solve the issue through force. In the
NK issue Armenia has never ignored the opinion and position of the
NK people and authorities. As a state the NK managed to prove during
this short period of time that as compared with the other states of the
region, it is much more reinforced and democratic thus it has a right
as a separate unit be de jure, especially in case when a perceivable
attitude toward stereotypes is being formed in the position of the
international community over the principle of self-determination of
peoples", the NA chairman said.
Hovik Abrahamyan highly assessed the role of the parliamentary
diplomacy and noted that the NK issue is always been referred to
during his meetings with his counterparts or representatives of
international organizations.
