Recognition of Artsakh people's right to self-determination top priority for Karabakh conflict resolution

February 4, 2009 - 14:45 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan presents his own interpretation of the international law but it doesn't mean that it's correct, NKR President Bako Sahakyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net



"The principle of territorial integrity can't dominate the international law," he emphasized.



"Recognition of Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Ossetia is a vivid example that the only way to resolve the Karabakh conflict is to recognize the right of Artsakh people to self-determination," Mr. Sahakyan said.
