Edward Nalbandian: Karabakh people are masters of their life

Armenia is supporting the elements and principles proposed by the Co-Chairs as a basis for the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenian Foreign Minister said.

“One of those elements is that the people of Nagorno Karabakh should themselves decide with whom and how they want to live, in other words to be the masters of their life,” Edward Nalbandian told Russia Today.

“And this free expression of will should have a legally binding force. It has been conceived in the proposals of presented by the Minsk Group Co-Chairs,” he added.

“You know, it’s dangerous, when a country boasts readiness to use force. Contrary to the calls of the international community, Azerbaijan, unfortunately, continues with its threats and seems to have forgotten how it all began. The conflict started when Azerbaijan attacked Nagorno Karabakh, hiring mercenaries with close links to international terrorist organizations. All know the result. But human memory is short,” Minister Nalbandian said.
