    SHAVARSH KOCHARIAN: IMPLEMENTATION OF THEIR RIGHT TO
    SELF-DETERMINATION BY KARABAKH PEOPLE IS EXCLUSIVE

    YEREVAN, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN. Implementation of the right to
    self-determination by the Nagorno Karabakh people is exclusive not
    only from the position of unexceptional legal basis, but also of other
    possible criteria of self-determination. Shavarsh Kocharian, a member
    of NA "Ardarutiun" (Justice) faction, the Chairman of the National
    Democratic party, stated about it in his speech at the parliamentary
    hearings dedicated to the Karabakh conflict settlement on March
    29. According to him, among these criteria are, particularly, the
    impossibility of existance of Armenians and Azeris in one republic,
    the ethnic structure of the population, responsibility for
    consequences of the self-determination.

    The speaker emphasized that already for 15 years the NKR has been
    funcioning a succesful independent state with all its attributes:
    separation of powers, efficient army under the civic control, state
    governance and local self-governance bodies formed by elections.

    Touching upon the legal side of the conflict, the speaker mentioned,
    that from the time of dissolution of the Soviet Union, two independent
    and nations having equal rights, the Republic of Azerbaijan and the
    NKR, were formed in the territory of the Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan.
    Hence, the Nagorno Karabakh people have overcome in legitimate way the
    principle of territorial completeness used towards Azerbaijan. In
    Kocharian's opinion, the terms "stage-by-stage" or "package" mustn't
    disguise the main problem of settlement, the status of the
    NagornoKarabakh.

    According to him, implementation of self-determination, used by
    people's expressing their will, must be the main pillar of Karabakh
    settlement.
