Georgian President's statements on demonstrating respectful attitude towards Azerbaijan's state sovereignty testify to his unawareness of the essence of Karabakh conflict, Neo-Conservative Movement leader Eduard Abrahamyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

«The thing's that Armenians have never called the issue into question, despite having grounds to do so. That first of all applies to the indigenous ethnic groups who were actually banned from expressing their will with regard to the country's sovereignty. The Transcaucasian Turks, i.e. Azeris, have actually seized power there and are now conducting assimilation and ethnic cleansing policy," he said.

"As regards Azerbaijan's position on NKR state sovereignty, I can characterize it as disdain for NKR Armenians' right to free will expression. Before the collapse of Soviet Union, those people made decision to create their independent statehood, and sought to achieve that base purely on USSR legislation and international law norms. Hence, Saakashvili should not have made statements on Azerbaijan's disrespectful attitude towards NKR state sovereignty," Neo-Conservative leader said.
