    Mammadyarov: observing international law norms, Baku recognizes right
    to self-determination
    01.11.2008 14:52 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On October 31, Foreign Ministers of Armenia,
    Azerbaijan and Russia met in Moscow to discuss the Karabakh process.

    `We base on the OSCE record saying that Azerbaijan and Armenia are
    parties to Karabakh conflict. As to the Azeri and Armenian communities
    of Nagorno Karabakh, they participated in talks until then-President
    Robert Kocharian declared that Armenia will continue negotiations on
    behalf of the Armenian community,' Azerbaijani acting Foreign Minister
    Elmar Mammadyarov said when commenting on Karabakh leadership's
    statement that NKR's non-participation in talks will slow down the
    settlement process.

    `There is no need to change the format because we negotiate with
    Armenia,' he said, 1news.az reports.

    Touching on RA President Serzh Sarsgyan's statement that the problem
    can't be resolved unless Azerbaijan recognizes the right of Karabakh
    people to self-determination, Mammadryarov said, `A signatory of the
    Helsinki Final Act and observer of the international law norms,
    Azerbaijan recognizes the right of nations to self-determination.
    However, it doesn't mean that territorial integrity can be violated by
    armed intrusion. Moreover, the principle of territorial integrity
    prevails over that of self-determination in international legal
    documents.'
