Karabakh hopes for UK stance on Scotland to be useful for Azerbaijan

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nagorno Karabakh Republic welcomes Great Britain’s readiness to hold a referendum on the future status of Scotland.

London’s stance once again proves that respect for human rights and nations' self-determination is a priority for democratic states, the Ministry said

Freedom and respect for these rights are, actually, the highest values in the modern world. We are convinced that any attempts to hamper the realization of fundamental human rights must be considered regardless of the political conjuncture and subjected to resolute and strict assessment by the international community. We can only hope that the position of Great Britain and other democratic states will positively impact Azerbaijan in accepting these realities and respecting human rights, it said.
