Armenian Parliament speaker: Karabakh - internationally recognised territory of Azerbaijan

Armenian National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan has said that Karabakh was and is an internationally recognised territory of Azerbaijan.

He made the remarks during the parliamentary rostrum during a verbal altercation with opposition Dashnak MP Gegham Manukyan, Caliber.Az reports, citing Armenian media.

“Where did you get the thesis that Azerbaijan had the right to attack Artsakh and UN resolutions allowed it?,” Manukyan asked Simonyan.

“I understand that one can cling to every word and build theses on it, try to prove something. But the fact remains that this territory we are talking about was and is the internationally recognised territory of Azerbaijan,” the Armenian parliament speaker replied.
