"The absence of external influence on Karabakh is a positive sign,"
the Foreign Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Georgy Petrosyan
said, when commenting on the statement of the Secretary General of
the Council of Europe Terry Davis on the inconsistency between the
conflicts in Nagorno Karabakh and Kosovo.
"The absence of any external influence on Karabakh is a positive
sign for NKR, since it actually means recognition of the high
self-organization of Karabakh citizens, acceptance of the fact that
our people is able to execute effective governance through its elected
authorities without external assistance, conduct foreign policy and
ensure its own independence," the NKR Foreign Minister stated.
According to the Minister, on many parameters the situation in
Nagorno Karabakh really differs from the situation in Kosovo, but
"Kosovo's aspiration to become a full subject of international law
as an independent state is identical to that of NKR."
Commenting of the statement by Terry Davis that because of the
unsettled nature of the conflict the citizens of Nagorno Karabakh are
deprived of the opportunity to apply to the European Court of Human
Rights, Georgy Petrosyan said: "This situation has emerged because of
Azerbaijan and through silent consent of international organizations,
which are called to ensure human rights irrespective of the status
of the territory they reside on."
The Foreign Minister declared that such position of the international
organizations evidences that they are guided by political interests
rather than the ideals of human right protection.
