Arayik Harutyunyan: Artsakh will carry on its struggle for self-determination regardless of all kinds of statements

Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan referred to the
statements made by the Armenian authorities during his press conference with
international media.

With regard to the right of the people of Artsakh to
self-determination, he said: “No country in the world has the right to
deny us our right to self-determination. I call on the Armenian authorities to
be more circumspect about their statements. The right to self-determination is
a principle of international law, and we enjoy this right today as well.”

He called on the Armenian authorities to show circumspection
in their statements. According to Harutyunyan, Artsakh will carry on its
struggle for self-determination, regardless of all kinds of statements.

Arayik Harutyunyan is also ready to enter into a dialogue
with Baku, if Baku respects the rights of the people of Artsakh and adheres to
the principle of equality.

Harutyunyan also referred to the issue of the Lachin
corridor, the total blockade and the crucial importance of opening the
corridor.

He noted that the Russian peacekeepers based in
Nagorno-Karabakh also face a food shortage and use the limited food supplies
that the people in Artsakh have.
