Artsakh has ‘All Characteristics of Statehood’ says Defense Minister

YEREVAN (ArmRadio)””The Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Republic conflict is a typical struggle of a nation for self-determination, Armenian Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan said during a press conference with Russian media.

“The people of Nagorno-Karabakh were forced to protect that right with arms. They managed to do that under unequal conditions in an imposed war in early 1990s and build an effective system of governance, with elections held on a regular basis, with multi-fraction Parliament formed, with its own judicial and economic systems,”
