The Nagorno Karabakh Republic welcomes the fact of recognizing the state independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It completely corresponds to the main principles of nations’ right to self-determination and international law, fixed in the basic documents and legal acts of the UN, the OSCE and other international organizations.
We have repeatedly warned that the threats of using force, excessive growth of military potential and eagerness to solve problems in their favor by force of arms are fraught with humanitarian catastrophes.
We hope that all the forces interested in peace in the region will draw right conclusions from the latest developments in South Caucasus and will take effective measures for solving the existing problems exclusively via peaceful means and for restoring stability in the region.
