FAAE: NKR AUTHORITIES MUST IMMEDIATELY LAUNCH PROCESS OF REUNIFICATION WITH ARMENIA

Forum of the Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) urges the NKR
authorities to immediately launch a process of reunification with
Armenia, FAAE says in a statement.
"Considering the latest statements by U.S. Co-Chair James Warlick
and other American officials on the situation around Crimea, the NKR
authorities need to immediately launch a process of reunification
with Armenia for security reasons," the FAAE says. Further, in the
statement, the Forum recalls the growing role of the principle of the
people's right to self-determination in the world and Artsakh's right
to demand recognition of the people's expression of will. The authors
of the statement say that to achieve this goal, a full consolidation
of Armenia, Artsakh and the Armenian Diaspora is needed.
FAAE claims that the Armenian authorities, particularly, the foreign
ministry, have failed to ensure the necessary political and military
security of the NKR due to their inactivity.
To recall, James Warlick in his speech, particularly, said: "In
light of Nagorno-Karabakh's complex history, the sides should commit
to determining its final legal status through a mutually agreed
and legally binding expression of will in the future. This is not
optional. Interim status will be temporary. Second, the area within
the boundaries of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region that
is not controlled by Baku should be granted an interim status that,
at a minimum, provides guarantees for security and self- governance.
Third, the occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh should be
returned to Azerbaijani control. There can be no settlement without
respect for Azerbaijan's sovereignty, and the recognition that its
sovereignty over these territories must be restored. Fourth, there
should be a corridor linking Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh. It must
be wide enough to provide secure passage, but it cannot encompass
the whole of Lachin district. Fifth, an enduring settlement will
have to recognize the right of all IDPs and refugees to return to
their former places of residence. Sixth and finally, a settlement
must include international security guarantees that would include a
peacekeeping operation. There is no scenario in which peace can be
assured without a well-designed peacekeeping operation that enjoys
the confidence of all sides."
