NAGORNY KARABAKH CONSIDERS IDEA ON REPEATED REFERENDUM OF INDEPENDENCE
AS TENDENCY ON READINESS OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO RECOGNIZE
RIGHTS OF NKR PEOPLE FOR SELF-DETERMINATION
YEREVAN, MARCH 30. ARMINFO. Stepanakert considers an idea on holding a
repeated referendum of independence in NKR as a tendency on the
readiness of international community to recognize the rights of NKR
people for self-determination, NKR Foreign Minister Arman Melikyan
stated at today’s hearings on “Karabakh Conflict: Ways of Settlement”.
He stressed that there are numerous unclear questions for holding the
repeated referendum. All these questions may make the referendum
senseless, therefore, Stepanakert considers its holding only as an
idea.
To note, this idea belongs to Chairman of NATO’s Parliamentary
Assembly Pier Lelush. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan and
Defence Minister Serje Sargsyan also stated about the possible
adoption of this proposal as a version for the solution of Karabakh’s
conflict. They stressed that the repeated referendum in NKR will
become a compromise from the Armenian party as NKR held such a
referendum 15 years ago in accordance with the international law
standards. Former Russian Co-Chairman of the OSCE MG Vladimir
Kazimirov also stressed the acceptability of this idea. -r-
