The participants of the conference dedicated to the 20th anniversary
of Nagorno-Karabakh's independence realized that the country's
independence in now an irreversible fact, a lawmaker of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia has said.
Gagik Melikyan of the RPA faction in parliament told reporters on
Monday that all the experts delivering speeches at the event agreed
that the country's international recognition should now be at issue.
The conference held in Nagorno-Karabakh from February 16 until 18
was attended by experts from Russia, Germany, Poland, Greece, Great
Britain, the Czech Republic and the United States.
According to Melikyan, the speakers ruled out the possibility of
viewing the territorial integrity principle a primary issue and
stressed the need of giving a higher role to the self-determination
of Karabakh people.
The participants also addressed the Armenian pogroms of Baku and
Sumgait. They noted particularly that the official Baku had perpetrated
them through the Soviet authorities to create an impression that
the actual cause of the conflict was an interethnic dispute, not the
self-determination of nations.
Melikyan said further that he was very much impressed by the German
and French participants' speeches, and not absolutely satisfied with
the remarks delivered by Russian expert Modest Kolerov, who expressed
what he called the Russian authorities' official opinion. Presenting
his forecasts on a possible war, Kolerov said it would be yet another
military conflict for Armenia but the last war for Azerbaijan.
