The Great Britain is for peaceful settlement of Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict within the frames of the OSCE Minsk Group, Minister of State
for Europe of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
David Lidington, said over the joint press-conference with Armenia's
Foreign Minister, Edward Nalbandyan, in Yerevan, 18 September.
He said that peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict is stemming
from the interests of the region and Europe, as it will make it
possible to preserve stability in the South Caucasus which is a part
of Europe.
Asked why the Great Britain uses the principle of the peoples' right
for self-determination only if it is stemming from its own interests,
for instance in case of Kosovo and Falkland islands, but ignores it
in other case, the minister replied that the Kosovo issue was revised
according to UN resolution 1244. The self-determination principle is
also one of the most important ones fixed by the OSCE MG co-chairmen
for peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict, and it should
be revised along with other principles fixed by the co-chairmen,
Lidington said.
For his part, Nalbandyan said that the right of peoples for
self-determination is stemming from the principles of the documents
adopted by UN, and is one of the most important conditions for
settlement of conflicts. He also added that security factor is also
priority. "The people of Nagornyy Karabakh cannot feel secure in
the country where soldiers fire at the target with an inscription
"Armenian"", - Nalbandyan said and added that the people of Karabakh
can't be secure when Azerbaijani policemen set free such criminals
like Ramil Safarov and turn him into an example to follow.
