The Washington Post: Karabakh would appreciate recognition yet won’t beg for it![]() July 7, 2011 - 17:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Nagorno Karabakh today is immensely proud of its victory over Azerbaijan and confident in the face of continuing Azerbaijani threats of renewed war, says an article titled “In Karabakh, the First Post-Soviet War” published by The Washington Post. “In 1988, Karabakh’s leaders said they wanted to be joined to Armenia proper, just to the west. Moscow never really answered, but in Azerbaijan, pogroms were launched against ethnic Armenians in response, with dozens killed,” the article says. According to The Washington Post, “Karabakhis would appreciate international recognition, but they’re not about to beg for it.” “Karabakhis aren’t inclined to make concessions for peace, or territory or anything else,” the article says. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
