As reported by the press office of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Armenia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Karen Nazaryan was also attending. “Denial of the right of nations to self-determination can lead to tragic consequences. The people of Artsakh fought for their independence and legally asserted their right to self-determination,” he said. At that he noted that Azerbaijan’s participation in the discussion is curious. “This country has always lacked mechanisms for human rights protection. The international community witnessed massacres of the Armenian population throughout Azerbaijan in the late 20th century. The current ‘no war no peace’ situation is the result ethnic cleasings, mass killings and war unleashed by Baku,” Nazaryan said.
