PanARMENIAN.Net - On March 21, an international scientific-practical
round table entitled "The Turkish Factor in the Middle East and in
the Post-Soviet Space" took place in Moscow, at the Russian Institute
of Strategic Studies (RISS).
At the event, adviser to Nagorno Karabakh Republic Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Candidate of Historical Sciences Ruben Zargarian delivered
a report titled "Nagorno Karabakh and Russia in Integration Projects
and Turkey's Position on the Karabakh Conflict."
In his report, Zargarian dwelled on the basic issues of the
Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement, the destructive and
aggressive policy of Azerbaijan, and the international legal position
of the NKR. The speaker noted that Azerbaijan's territorial claims
for seven reintegrated regions of the NKR should be regarded as
unacceptable, inappropriate, and hampering the achievement of a
peace agreement between the NKR and Azerbaijan. According to him,
the lesson of the unresolved Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict, the
increasing threats of the Baku administration to resume the aggression,
and the systematic Azerbaijani military provocations on the border
is that negotiations are not enough to ensure peace and settlement,
and a responsible attitude to international law is needed.
"The Baku administration is openly ignoring international law by taking
illegal attempts to question the sovereignty and territorial integrity
of the NKR", said the Adviser to the NKR Foreign Minister, noting that
a civilized and stable settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict
must be based on the following five principles: determination of the
NKR status is the exclusive right of the people of Nagorno Karabakh;
final recognition of the NKR state independence by the international
community; mutual recognition of the independence of the NKR and
the Azerbaijani Republic; restoration of the territorial integrity
of Nagorno Karabakh; peaceful resolution of disputes and non-use of
force or threat of force.
The report emphasized the need for the final recognition of the NKR
independence as a factor of establishing peace and stability not
only in the Caucasus region, but also in the region of the Eastern
Mediterranean Neo-Byzantine Civilization, NKR Foreign Ministry press
service reported.
