“Who entitled Baku leadership to interfere in inferior of independent countries and offer an ‘intermediate status’ to neighboring states?” according to Adviser to the NKR Foreign Minister Ruben Zargaryan.

“The idea of Baku on ‘intermediate status’ for independent Artsakh contradicts to international law, which records that the right of political status determination belongs to people, and no one else,” said Zargaryan commenting on head of public-political issues of Azerbaijan’s Presidential Administration, Ali Gasanov’s proposals to grant Nagorno Karabakh an ‘intermediate status’. According to Gasanov, granting of the above mentioned status is a concession on the part of Baku.

“For Ali Gasanov, it would be more appropriate to offer an ‘intermediate status’ for Azerbaijan,” Zargaryan told Analitika.at.ua. in an interview.

The Adviser to the NKR Foreign Minister noted that attempt of Baku administration to dictate the so called ‘intermediate status’ to NKR is Azerbaijan’s strive to strikethrough the whole irreproachable international legal foundation for proclamation of NKR independence, its Constitution, legitimacy of elections, as well as international law, which qualifies Nagorno Karabakh as an independent state and imperatively dictates recognition of Nagorno Karabakh Republic’s independence.
