AZERBAIJAN'S APPROACH THWARTS INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S EFFORTS TO SETTLE NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT - HOVIK ABRAHAMYAN
21:38 * 17.03.14
An Armenian delegation led by Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik
Abrahamyan participated in the work of the 130th Assembly of the
Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), on Monday.
Mr Abrahamyan delivered a speech and particularly said:
"Many of you are well informed of the international community's
efforts to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. With this end in
view, the OSCE Minsk Group has been working for 20 years. The Minsk
Group co-chairs - the United States, Russia and France - are working
to find a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
following three internationally recognized principles: peoples' right
to self-determination, territorial integrity and non-use of force or
threat of force, which implies a compromise settlement of the problem.
"Regrettably, Azerbaijan prefers only one of the aforementioned
principles, namely, territorial integrity. Moreover, militant rhetoric
at the highest level in Baku does not contribute either to a peaceful
settlement of the conflict or to strengthening of stability and
confidence-building in the region, thwarting the international
community's efforts."
