Nagorno Karabakh will not be returned to Azerbaijan, German writer
Jochen Mangelsen told today a news conference. "Being in Nagorno
Karabakh, I asked several people what they will do if Artsakh is
returned to Azerbaijan. Their unanimous answer was they will prefer
dying, as for that independence their fathers, sisters and brothers
were killed in the field of combat," he said.
"There are many political and moral ingredients in the Artsakh issue.
I attach high importance to the moral one, as the current Artsakh is
the result of Stalin's inhuman policy, and we must choose to follow
the path of Stalin's policy or to respect the wish of the people who
want to self-determine," the writer noted, adding that the conflict
must be solved not in a military way, but by political approach.
According to him, 1 day was dedicated in Germany to independence
of Nagorno Karabakh, in answer to which, the Azerbaijani came forth
with massive rallies. They tried to ban conduction of Artsakh days
in Germany.
Mangelsen expressed hope that Nagorno Karabakh will submit an
application for joining the UN, but it will take time.
