Serzh Sargsyan: a lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuitSeptember 17, 2010 - 11:26 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's position on the Karabakh conflict bases on the international law, RA President said. “Nagorno Karabakh was included into Azerbaijan’s map by decision of the Communist Party in 1921. So, the liberation movement with the following referendum was a legal initiative of the population of Artsakh,” Serzh Sargsyan told Profile Ukrainian magazine. “After the Hague International Court of Justice resolved that unilateral proclamation of Kosovo’s independence doesn’t conflict with the norms of international law and that the right of nations to self-determination does not go contrary to the principle of territorial integrity, all clicked into place,” he said. “The three principles - the right of nations to self-determination, territorial integrity and non-use of force - were fixed during the OSCE summit in Almaty. We are hopeful that a fair decision will be finally adopted,” President Sargsyan reminded. “Anyway, a lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit,” he said.
