Coordinated efforts will help to achieve de jure recognition of Karabakh – Prosperous Armenia

YEREVAN. – Positive momentum was registered in the settlement of Karabakh conflict in 2012 in terms of work with international community, secretary of Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group Naira Zohrabyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

She said views on prevailing of people’s right to self-determination are becoming dominant worldwide.

“Previously, it was difficult for members of the Armenian delegation to the European agencies to justify that the right of peoples to self-determination is the prevailing norm fixed in the UN Charter, over the past year, there is a tendency that no one tries to dispute it,” she said.

Zohrabyan noted there is much to be done, given the enormous financial resources spent by Azerbaijan to distort the essence of the Karabakh issue.

“It is important to act so that the European countries change their perception of issues on the right to self-determination. Even those European Parliament members, who had received petrodollars from Azerbaijan, refrain from speaking on the issue of the right of peoples to self-determination. Armenia has no oil revenues but the truth is on our side, and we have to achieve justice through coordinated efforts for de-facto independent Karabakh to be recognized de jure,” Zohrabyan emphasized.
