Right to self-determination


On March 21, the Supreme Spiritual Council of the Mother See issued a statement regarding the 100th day of blocking the Berdzor (Lachin) corridor. The statement emphasizes that the Armenian Church will consistently defend the realization of the right to self-determination of the people of Artsakh, based on the principle of independence for the sake of salvation and security. What is the essential difference between the formulations "rights of Armenians" living in Nagorno-Karabakh" and "right to self-determination"? Does it contradict the principle of territorial integrity? What can the peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia be about?  Gevorg Danielyan, Doctor of Legal Sciences, member of the SSC, clarifies.  Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

Patriarchal delegate of Western Europe, representative of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the Holy See, His Eminence Archbishop Khajak Parsamyan and doctor of historical sciences, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ruben Karapetyan are discussing.  Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation. 

The Republic of Artsakh is a de facto state. Vardan Poghosyan


"International relations expert, constitutionalist Vardan Poghosyan presents the case of the Republic of Artsakh as a de facto established state at the conference "The Imperative of International Recognition of the Artsakh Republic"- "Emergence of the state is a historical fact, regardless of its basis. International law recognizes the fact that there is a state based on the fact that the characteristics of a state exist." What are these characteristics and how is the Republic of Artsakh a subject of international law?
