`The verdict by the U.N. court confirmed that the self-determination
principle does not violate international legal norms, including the
principle of territorial integrity. Nagorno-Karabakh is ready to
perform its role in the peace talks. Considering the current situation
in the international political arena, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is
ready to assume responsibility for the sake of progress, regional
peace and international security. On December 10, 1991,
Nagorno-Karabakh, in conformity with international and USSR laws
declared independence. The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic has proved it is
a full-fledged state since,’ says the statement.
