/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Shoushi Foundation calls on the Armenian authorities,
OSCE Minsk Group, United Nations, European Parliament and other
international structures to restore the rights of Nagorno Karabakh
people and to acknowledge NKR as side in talks.
Movement for Justice was established for the purpose, said Bakur
Karapetyan, director of the Foundation, told a news conference today.
"In 1998, Azerbaijan levied war upon Karabakh. Once a party to talks,
Karabakh is now represented by Armenia, what makes the international
community eye the RA as an aggressor. Armenian political elite is in
a diplomatic trap set by Azerbaijan and Turkey," he said.
"The right of nations to self-determination is a vital principle of
the Helsinki Final Act. Knowing this, Baku and Ankara purposefully
removed Karabakh from talks. Moreover, Moscow declaration affirmed
this position," Karapetyan said.
