The final declaration of the summit of NATO stresses that it supports
territorial integrity of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova and
continues to assist efforts for the settlement of these conflicts in
accordance with the international law and the final act of Helsinki.
Vladimir Karapetyan, member of the foreign affairs committee of the
Armenian National Congress, told Lragir that this final declaration
is not unilateral, unlike the final declaration of the summit of 2010.
The Lisbon declaration refers to territorial integrity only, while
this year's final declaration refers to Helsinki Final Act which
incorporates the principle of self-determination.
In regard to criticism by FM Eduard Nalbandyan and Serzh Sargsyan's
boycott, he says he is amazed by the illiteracy of such statements
because the final declaration states the conflicts must be settled
on the basis of several principles, including those of the final act
of Helsinki. This is a more balanced document compared with the final
declaration of 2010.
