Karabakh people's self-determination should be accomplished - Armenian president

YEREVAN. July 14

The self-determination of the Nagorno-Karabakh people is a right
envisaged by charters of international organizations, Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan said.

"It is a principle recognized by international law and it should be
accomplished," Sargsyan said in an interview with the R-Evolution
program on the Armenia TV channel.

The number-one security guarantee is one's own capable armed forces,
he said. "It is the most reliable guarantee," he said.

The Armenian side has enough weapons combined with the combat capacity
of troops to neutralize a threat to the security of Nagorno-Karabakh
or Armenia, Sargsyan said.

"If anyone thinks that Iskander systems have only moral or
psychological significance, they don't even understand what those
systems are. Once they find out, they will understand the destructive
power those weapons have," he said.
