Yerevan/Mediamax/. Tigran Torosyan, independent MP, former Speaker of
Armenian parliament, stated today that Nagorno Karabakh's status is
the most important issue in the Karabakh peace process and the rest
of the issues are derived from it.
According to him, it is obvious that "there are unsolvable discords
in the settling issue of Karabakh's status between the positions of
Armenia and Azerbaijan", Mediamax reports.
Tigran Torosyan said that the right of self-determination is applicable
to all the peoples.
"The following forms are defined for realizing the right of
self-determination: separation and declaration of the independent
state, its separation and annexation to other independent state or
any other status. Only self-determined people may decide which of
the options is more acceptable", noted the MP.
According to him, Armenia needs to present a comprehensive conception
of Karabakh settlement based on norms of international law.
He also expressed the belief that today, the interests of two out of
the three states represented in the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship
clash that's why "at least one of the mediator-states is not interested
in settling the Karabakh conflict in the foreseeable future".
