STEPANAKERT.- A statement by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was very important, Davit Babayan, press secretary of the President of the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic/NKR), said during Facebook live.

"He made a very interesting explanation concerning the Golan Heights. He said that there was aggression and from the point of view of defense, when a country is confronted by aggression by an enemy country, that country has the right to self-defense and that self-defense can be manifested by the change of borders. In this case, the change of borders is legitimized. This is a very important statement, "Davit Babayan said.

"In this case, this is a very important argument for us that we should use. In fact, Azerbaijan has acted aggressively towards Artsakh, has begun a large-scale war, and as a result borders have been changed. So, the change of these borders is legitimate. This is actually the case with the US Secretary of State and President's lips. This is, in fact, a message, the vision of the US superpower. We have to take this into account, and during such discussions, we will definitely put forward such ideas, "he said.
