 The political forces of the NKR National Assembly – The Motherland, Democracy and AEF Dashnaktsutyun factions - came forth with a statement on ICJ ruling on Kosovo, which reads in part: “Based on the main principles of international law and the requirements of the USSR legislation, on December 10, 1991, the people of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic declared independence through a referendum.
In the course of the past twenty years the Nagorno Karabakh Republic has been preventing the military attacks of Azerbaijan, has achieved the conclusion of the ceasefire agreement and has established itself as a full-fledged democratic state. Our people aspire for the international recognition of independence.
On July 22 the International Court of Justice confirmed that the right of people to self-determination and its implementation do not violate any principle of general international law, including the principle of territorial integrity.”
The statement notes also that the political forces reconfirm the willingness of the people of Artsakh to solve the existing issues through peaceful negotiations based on international law.
