Providing Any Status to Karabakh out of Baku Competence

PanARMENIAN.Net - Elmar Mammadyarov's statement on readiness to provide Nagorno Karabakh highest autonomy in the world, including that equal to Tatarstan status in Russia, if it is not a regular propagandistic step, by the essence means the readiness of the leadership of Azerbaijan to federalize the country, stated NKR FM Georgy Petrosyan. In his words, from that point of view it is possible to express hope, that the status in question will be given to Lezghins, Talishs and other people, living in Azerbaijan. "As of the NKR, with whom the Azerbaijani leadership continues to avoid any contacts, it is necessary to emphasize, that official Baku cannot give any status to Nagorno Karabakh, as the given issue does not enter into the competence of Azerbaijan. The status of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is determined within the legal framework of the people living here. The essence of Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict is concluded in the fact, that Azerbaijani side turned out to be non-capable to solve similar issues in a civilized way and resorted to armed aggression.



Official Baku continues to ignore the existing reality, concluded in the fact, that the NKR independence is the most superior value of the Republic's people, which is being supported at national referendum on state independence on December 10, 1991. The NKR people not only protected their right to deal with their own fortune in the course of the war, imposed on them, but for the last 15 years as minimum 7 times confirmed their will by the means of democratic national presidential and parliamentary elections, conducted in the NKR, when the electorate voted for the programs of separate candidates and political parties, appealing for the Republic's state independence".
