YEREVAN. - Nagorno Karabakh people are the creators of their own fate, Armenian parliament Vice Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov said in the parliament today.

During the summer of 2015, Azerbaijan kept destabilizing the situation on the border and the line of contact, ignoring the statements of the international community.

During the CSTO summit in Dushanbe, Armenia’s President described the situation rather clearly: the actions on the part of  Azerbaijan are fraught with destabilization of the entire region in the absence of an adequate response from the international community.

“Nevertheless, through the recent elections of the local self-governance authorities, Artsakh people once again proved they are the creators of their own fate,” Sharmazanov said.
