Armenia never ignored and does not ignore historical facts. Turning a blind eye on the past and historical roots of various controversial issues will not help to find a solution, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbnadian stated in an interview with Russia Today.

“However, one should look at the future and seek conflict solutions instead of saying the goal is zero problems, at that bringing about new problems. Each conflict is specific in its roots, peculiarities, dynamics, development and formats of the negotiation process. Therefore, it is incorrect to draw parallel between them. However, there can be some common elements between conflicts. For this reason, I do not think one conflict must be directly compared with another.

Commenting on the precedent of Sudan, which has recently declared independence in a national referendum, Nalbandian said: “Certainly, Sudan can serve as a precedent. However, there is no shortage of such precedents. Sudan is simply the latest one. The formation of many of the UN member-states may serve as a precedents, which became independent by enforcement of nation’s right to self-determination. Nagorno-Karabakh and Karabakhi people have equal rights with other nations to decide their destiny under the sun,” the FM emphasized.
