ArmInfo. Frozen conflicts must be settled, Foreign Minister of Romania
Lazar Comanescu said at a joint press conference with Foreign Minister
of Armenia Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan on 15 November.

The Romanian minister welcomed the latest breakthroughs in the Karabakh
peace process and the Declaration signed in Moscow. He made the point
of the direct political dialogue of the conflicting parties as the only
way of long-term settlement of the conflict. Asked if the principle of
territorial integrity prevails over the principle of the people’s right
to self-determination, the Romanian minister said that such a complex
and complicated problem as Nagorny Karabakh conflict requires respect
for the norms of the international law. The principle of territorial
integrity is one of the provisions of the international law. But
both the UN and Helsinki Final Act imply also other principles,
in particular, the people’s right to self- determination. All these
principles must be correlated, Lazar Comanecku said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
