State Minister: Karabakh will never agree to be part of AzerbaijanJuly 1, 2021 - 15:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) State Minister Artak Beglaryan has said the authorities and the people will never accept any scenario to be part of Azerbaijan. Beglaryan told an online press conference on Thursday, July 1 that Karabakh is currently in more difficult conditions than it was before the 44-day war in fall 2020, but said it didn't mean they stand no chance of fighting. "Our path seems longer, but on the other hand we have additional opportunities, including foreign policy ones, to organize the protection of our right to self-determination much more emphatically," Beglaryan, who served as Karabakh's Human Rights Defender during the war, said. According to him, the right to self-determination is perceivable to the international community because two of the three basic principles of conflict resolution are no longer relevant. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev on November 9 signed a statement to end the war in Karabakh after almost 45 days. Under the deal, the Armenian side has returned all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.
