BAKU. Jan 9 (Interfax) – Azerbaijan recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh’s
right to self-determination, but only as part of Azerbaijan, head of
the information department at the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Tair
Tagizade told Interfax.
"We recognize Nagorno-Karabakh’s right to self-determination and we
believe that Karabakh residents should exercise that right within the
framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity," he said commenting
on a statement by Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian.
It was reported earlier that Oskanian said in an interview with
Interfax that "it is very important for us that the talks on a
peaceful Karabakh settlement focus on Nagorno-Karabakh’s right to
self- determination, which in turn is reflected in the document on
the negotiation table."
