    KARABAKH IS NOT THE FORMER AUTONOMOUS REGION - ANALYST

    February 28, 2013 | 11:53

    YEREVAN. - A respect should be demanded, from the international
    community, in terms of the already recognized right to
    self-determination of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), Yerevan
    State University lecturer, Doctor of Philosophy, and political
    scientist, Professor Aleksander Manasyan stated during a press
    conference on Thursday.

    "We do not pay enough attention to our mentality. Why did we
    [Armenians] become victims of massacres? Such events do not take place
    without a preparation. We still do not acknowledge the position of
    Europe in this respect. In addition, it must be admitted that the
    West, aiming to destroy the Soviet Union, supported, for some time,
    the [Armenian] people of Karabakh's aspiration for independence but,
    subsequently, Karabakh ceased to pose an interest," the political
    analyst noted.

    In Manasyan's conviction, the Armenians were not a national minority in
    Azerbaijan; instead, they are among the founding peoples of that state.

    "In addition, we have lost the geographic idea of Karabakh. Karabakh
    is not the former [Soviet] autonomous region; we have not come
    outside of Karabakh's boundaries. On the contrary, the central and
    northern parts of Karabakh are still occupied by Azerbaijan. As for
    NKR's right to self-determination, the Azerbaijanis themselves have
    recognized this right on several occasions. The already recognized
    right to self-determination of peoples should be respected," Professor
    Aleksander Manasyan argued.
