Torosian: we spent 17 years to prove applicability of right of nations to self-determination to Karabakh
All UN resolutions fix the right of nations to self-determination, RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian said during a meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Ali Saqayian, the RA NA press office reported.

"It took us 17 years to prove that the principle of the right of nations to self-determination can be applied to Nagorno Karabakh like it was in case with Eastern Timor and Eritrea," the Speaker said. "Armenia always respected the norms of international law, including the above-mentioned principle."
