General Consul of Belarus in Daugavpils (Latvia) Vladimir Klimov
accused Azerbaijan of violating the Armenian’s rights in former
Nagorno-Karabakh autonomous region of Azerbaijan where he was carrying
his military service.
The people in Karabakh were deprived of a possibility to exercise
their right to self-determination, he said in an interview with
SeyChas ( áõùçðÑ?) newspaper, Ã`Ñðýø.lv reported.
The diplomat said that Armenians made majority of population in
Karabakh when it was an autonomous region within Soviet Azerbaijan.
`When a child was born in an Armenian family of Malumyans, he was
registered as Malumyanov, in Azerbaijani style,’ Klimov said when
asked whether situation in Ukraine’s South-East resembles conflict in
Nagorno-Karabakh.
National traditions were not encouraged, besides there were
disagreements on religious grounds, he said, adding that the conflict
broke out when someone provoked the situation.
