PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia must strive to improve international
community's distorted perception of Karabakh conflict, according to
the head of Political Research Academy NGO.
As Alexander Manasyan told a news conference in Yerevan, "over the
last 20 years, Azerbaijan has been instilling the notion of having a
legal right to reclaim liberated territories of Artsakh, with Armenia
not taking enough effort to refute Baku's rhetoric."
"Armenia must make the world aware that not an inch of Azerbaijan's
legal territory was seized," the expert said. "Back in 1921, when by
the illegal decision of Caucasus Bureau Nagorno Karabakh was passed
under Azeri control, the separate territories of Nagorno Karabakh
Autonomous Oblast were not stipulated. Only in 1923, Azerbaijan
separated Armenian-populated territories, with Nagorno Karabakh
Autonomous Oblast formed solely of the latters," the expert explained.
