STRASBOURG. - Thirty-two PACE delegates adopted a joint declaration on

Nagorno-Karabakh recognizing the independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh

Republic and calling to close cooperation with legally elected

authorities of the Republic. Armenian News-NEWS.am posts the full text:

 

"20 years ago, through the adoption of legal decisions on independence

based on Soviet and International Laws, new states were created in

our region. The right to self-determination and decolonization from

the Soviet Union was exercised not only by Armenia, Azerbaijan and

Georgia, but by Mountainous Karabagh as well.

 

These four political entities declared independence approximately at

the same time. Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia have been members of the

Council of Europe for 10 years now, while Artsakh is not a member of

this organization. Despite these facts and the difficult situation it

finds itself in, Artsakh has nonetheless adopted and is consistently

following a political path of state-building in conformity with the

spirit, the mission and the values of the Council of Europe.

 

Highly appreciating the results and the dynamics of democracy-building

adopted as a development model by Artsakh and realizing the importance

of the participation of the official delegates of Artsakh to the

negotiations taking place within the context of the OSCE Minsk Group,

we congratulate the Republic of Mountainous Karabagh on its 20th

anniversary and call for close cooperation with its duly-elected

authorities.
