YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijan has no legal ground of
claiming a right of territorial integrity. If the latter considers
itself the legal inheritor of the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan
proclaimed by the Ottoman army in 1918-1920, it was not recognized
legally by international community. "Azerbaijan cannot present legal
claims, as it is the inheritor of a state, which has not acquired
borders," Chairman of "Shushi" fund Bakur Karapetyan told a news
conference, Armenpress reports.
According to Mr. Karapetyan, any document of Azerbaijan's domestic use,
where the suggested borders of the state are pictured, cannot have
normative character of international law. "International instances
have to take into consideration this circumstance while determining
the self-determination right of NKR people," he said.
"Shushi" fund has addressed to heads of Minsk Group Co-Chair Countries
an open letter presenting this issue.
