Sahakyan: Karabakh conflict may only be settled through legal recognition of NKR

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeri politicians' statements suggesting readiness to provide Karabakh autonomy while a part of Azerbaijan are a mere speculation, according to Artsakh Republic President.

“Clearly, there's no return to past,” Bako Sahakyan told Military Diplomat magazine. “Karabakh had autonomy during 70 years of Soviet rule, still, everyone's aware how that ended,” he said.

Artsakh President ruled out the autonomy scenario, stressing, “the conflict with Azerbaijan may only be settled through legal acknowledgement of independent Nagorno Karabakh Republic on international scale. This is the will of our people, as well as Karabakh authorities,” Artsakh President stressed.
