Madrid principles stipulate for NKR's independence recognition
Basic Madrid principles contradict the 4 UNO resolutions on NKR conflict as well as international law, Azerbaijan Democratic Party Leader Sardar Jalaloglu stated.
According to him, MG OSCE Co-Chairs strive to force Azerbaijan and Armenia into agreeing to conflict settlement based on purely political principles, instead of international law.
"MG OSCE Co-Chairs do not uphold a neutral position on this issue. Russia, France and USA are patronizing Armenia, to some extent. The only argument Azerbaijan possesses is the fundamental international law on territorial integrity. So, fulfillment of self-determination principle is within competence of the state itself. This is why, Azerbaijan has to determine the position of Nagorno Karabakh, which is an Azerbaijani region. Madrid principles, in the form they're published, stipulate not only for NKR's independence recognition, but also for loss of control over adjacent territories, where allocation of international forces in suggested," 1news.az cited Azeri politician as saying.
