PanARMENIAN.Net - Nagorno Karabakh's right for self-determination is
important not only from the viewpoint of international law, but also
with regard to its safety, Armenian Foreign Minister said.
As Edward Nalbandian stated at a joint briefing with UK Minister for
Europe David Lidington, "Karabakh people won't be feeling safe while
Azeri snipers are using targets saying "an Armenian" during military
trainings or extolling the likes of axe-killer Safarov."
The UK official, in turn, was asked to comment whether the Great
Britain sets peoples' right for self-determination as a priority only
in cases benefiting London, with Kosovo example cited.
As the Minister noted in reply, Kosovo's future was outlined in UN
resolution, while Karabakh's right for self-determination is specified
by OSCE Minsk Group principles.
However, he said, Karabakh issue can only be solved through a
comprehensive approach by taking into consideration other principles
as well.
