“Yes, I can confidently say that no one will accept such conditions. In other words, the authorities and people of Artsakh will never accept Artsakh being part of Azerbaijan in any way,” the State Minister of Artsakh, Artak Beglaryan, said during a press conference in response to a question about the activities taking place surrounding Artsakh’s self-determination, and if we can confidently say that Artsakh will never be part of Azerbaijan. “Of course, our conditions are much harder and heavier than they were before the war, but that does not mean that we will not have the opportunity to fight.
Our path seems longer now, but, on the other hand, we have additional opportunities, including in foreign policy, for organizing the defense of our right to self-determination with more emphasis. At least in terms of arguments, this is understandable to the international community because two of the three principles of the conflict settlement are now outdated as a result of the war, and the international community and the Minsk Group are already aware of this,” Artak Beglaryan said. He was referring to the principle of territorial integrity and the exclusion of the threat of force. According to the Artsakh official, Armenia should also make efforts in that direction. However, he hopes that in the near future, there will be some positive progress in this regard.
