The President of Armenia made his statement on Crimea with due regard
for the Karabakh conflict, German Ambassador to Armenia Reiner Morell
told journalists. According to Morell, Armenia's leadership recognized
only the peoples' right to self-determination, not the annexation of
Crimea of Russia.
Morell pointed out that Serzh Sargsyan made his statement in a phone
conversation and then was fixed on the paper, but anyway, it was not
an official stance.
The Ambassador stressed the need to analyze whether Armenia really
agrees with the occupation of Crimea or it just wants to state the
peoples' right to self-determination. Even the second variant was
not easily perceived, because everyone saw that the developments in
Crimea were not controlled, he said.
To recall, in the March 19 telephone conversation with Russian
President Vladimir Putin, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said
that the referendum in Crimea was one more example of exercise of the
peoples' right to self-determination through a free expression of will.
