We use the notion of ‘self-determination of nations’ only within the
framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in relation to
the Karabakh conflict, while mechanisms of possible self-determination
may be a subject of negotiation process, spokesman of Azerbaijan’s
Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov has said.
As for the announcements of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Edward
Nalbandyan who said "the status of "NKR" is being discussed today
during negotiations on the Karabakh conflict settlement", Polukhov said
these statements are intended for the internal audience of the country.
"Nalbandyan knows well which issues are discussed during the
negotiations process", the diplomat said.
