  Affirmation of NKR people's right to self-determination is the key to conflict resolution April 7, 2010 - 13:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - There’s no sense in referring to other problems unless the status of Nagorno Karabakh is determined, according to Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian. “Affirmation of Nagorno Karabakh people’s right to self-determination is the main point in talks,” he told a news conference in Yerevan on April 7. “Madrid Principles are still serving as a basis for negotiations and the OSCE Minsk Group will continue proposing solutions until the conflicting parties reach a comprehensive agreement,” Minister Nalbandian said.    The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out as result of the ethnic cleansing launched by the Azeri authorities in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 (when the Nagorno Karabakh Republic was proclaimed) to 1994 (when a ceasefire was sealed by Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan). Most of Nagorno Karabakh and a security zone consisting of 7 regions are now under control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
