NKR: Respect of People's Right to Self-Determination Cornerstone of Conflict Settlement

PanARMENIAN.Net - The MFA of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic released a statement on the referendum on independence in Montenegro. The statement specifically says, «The holding of the referendum on independence in Montenegro and readiness of the international community to recognize the returns is a positive fact. We are convinced that respect of peoples' right to self-determination is a cornerstone of conflict settlement and tool to establish political stability.



Thereupon, it is expedient to remind that disrespect of NK people's right, who voted at referendum held on December 10, 1991 for independence, was a basis for further military aggression by Azerbaijan.



Further neglect of NKR people's right to self-determination during settlement of the Azeri-Karabakh conflict, as well as right for conditions that will ensure its political independence, economic and military security, will postpone the prospect of finding a mutually acceptable solution and establishment of lasting peace in the region.»
