YEREVAN.- Territorial integrity cannot be opposed to nation’s right
to self-determination, said Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh
Kocharyan.

Talking to the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent, he was asked to
comment on recent statement by Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev saying
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is not subject to talks.

“Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity cannot be a topic for Karabakh
talks, as according to the fundamental norms of the international law,
including the UN Charter, territorial integrity cannot be opposed to
the nation’s right to self-determination,” he said.

“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
