CE PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY ISSUES DECLARATION ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH
Tert.am
06.10.11
Below is a written declaration issued by the Parliamentary assembly
of the Council of Europe.
"The Republic of mountainous Karabagh (Artsakh)
"This written declaration commits only the members who have signed it.
"20 years ago, through the adoption of legal decisions on independence
based on Soviet and International Laws, new states were created in
our region. The right to self-determination and decolonization from
the Soviet Union was exercised not only by Armenia, Azerbaijan and
Georgia, but by Mountainous Karabagh as well.
"These four political entities declared independence approximately
at the same time. Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia have been members
of the Council of Europe for 10 years now, while Artsakh is not a
member of this organisation. Despite these facts and the difficult
situation it finds itself in, Artsakh has nonetheless adopted and is
consistently following a political path of state-building in conformity
with the spirit, the mission and the values of the Council of Europe.
"Highly appreciating the results and the dynamics of democracy-building
adopted as a development model by Artsakh and realising the importance
of the participation of the official delegates of Artsakh to the
negotiations taking place within the context of the OSCE Minsk Group,
we congratulate the Republic of Mountainous Karabagh on its 20th
anniversary and call for close co-operation with its duly-elected
authorities."
