Leader of Armenian Democratic Party: "Conflict in South Ossetia will help Armenia present its position on Nagorno Karabakh to the world society"

"We should use the chance we have got and present the issue of Nagorno Karabakh status to the world arena and draw attention to recognition of "Nagorno Karabakh Republic", said Aram Sargsyan at a press conference Thursday.

He said the idleness in this issue can become a great mistake.

At the same time, Sargsyan noted that Armenia has no right to hold talks with Azerbaijan on the status of Nagorno Karabakh, as the said issue was settled by results of the "national referendum" in 1991.

"Thus, if we talk about Nagorno Karabakh independence from Azerbaijan, this does not mean violation of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan", said he.

The leader of the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan considers that Armenia should hold talks with official Baku only on the issue of eliminating consequences of war "declared by Azerbaijan".
