Karabakh today's status can't be lowered
NKR people gained their right to independence in compliance with the law and then in the war imposed on them. The problem can be resolved by lowering today's status of the republic, according to Armenia's President.

"During a meeting with Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev, we decided to continue talks in the framework of Basic Principles. Nagorno Karabakh was never a part of Azerbaijan. It was transferred to the Azerbaijani Soviet Republic by an illegal decision of the Communist Party with a purpose to dissimilate the ideas of communism over to Islamic East," Serzh Sargsyan said at a meeting with representatives of the Armenian community of Moscow.
