/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Washington Post published NKR Representative
Vardan Barseghian’s letter to the Editor in response to a March
11, 2006 op-ed column entitled “Russia’s Shadow Empire” by Ana
Palacio and Daniel Twining, reported the information and analytical
department of the NKR MFA. Representative Barseghian’s letter says:
“The March 11 op-ed column “Russia’s Shadow Empire” touched upon the
“frozen conflicts” on the territory of the former Soviet Union. The
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains “frozen” because of Azerbaijan’s
unwillingness to accept the democratically expressed will of the
people of Nagorno-Karabakh. Nagorno Karabakh has never belonged
to an independent Azerbaijan. It has the legal, factual and moral
prerequisites to pursue its independence. The authors of the op-ed
piece advocated rewarding Azerbaijan for its willingness to cooperate
in ending this conflict. Do President Ilham Aliyev’s regular threats
to launch a new war against Nagorno-Karabakh count as goodwill? The
European Union and the United States should support the aspirations
of Nagorno Karabakh to remain free and discourage Azerbaijan from
unleashing a new war. This would signal Azerbaijan that it should
embark on more constructive negotiations to bring stability and
economic cooperation to Europe’s new neighborhood.”
