The answer of the Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan to the question of the News.am agency

24 August, 2012

Question: Mr. Kocharyan, how would you comment on the statement by the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Davutoglu at the meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Council of the Turkish-speaking Countries held on August 22 in Bishkek that the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh should be resolved in accordance with the international law within the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan?

Answer: It is obvious that professor Davutoglu, being appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, zeroed out his knowledge in the sphere of the international law. According to the well-known fundamental norms of the international law the territorial integrity cannot be opposed to the people’s right of self-determination. The result of such zeroed out approaches of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey is the fact that Turkey has zero neighbours without problems.
