Armenia has to tackle its security problems, Shavarsh Kocharyan believesOctober 5, 2010 - 18:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage-submitted draft law on recognition of Karabakh independence was discussed in Armenian parliament. As Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan noted during the discussion, Armenia accepted Madrid principles and St. Petersburg suggestions on Karabakh conflict settlement as a basis for further negotiations. “Madrid document includes 3 principles of international law: non-use of force, nations’ right for self-determination and territorial integrity. Azeri side denies two of them (non-use of force, nations’ right for self-determination), misrepresenting the third one, which runs counter to UN regulations,” the Deputy Foreign Minister stated. “Azerbaijan strives to preserve the status quo in the region, which means Armenia has to work towards provision of its security,” Kocharyan pointed out.
