Azeri control over Nagorno Karabakh people can’t be allowed – Swiss legislator Stefan Müller-Altermatt

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 14, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian population living in Nagorno Karabakh must have the right to self-determination, Swiss Member of Parliament, Co-Chair of the Switzerland-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group Stefan Müller-Altermatt said at a press conference in the Armenian parliament.

He emphasized that the right to self-determination is a very important point in terms of human rights.

“We clearly see that there is an issue of people’s existence, and it is under threat. The political solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict has simply been left out of the international community’s attention. A political solution must be found, and not resort to the help of weapons which will lead to new genocide. But Azerbaijan is clearly rejecting this, and we are struggling against this. There’s been an atmosphere of ethnic intolerance against Armenians for many years. And we can’t allow Azerbaijani control over the people of Nagorno Karabakh. This is not possible. And this must be clear for all parties,” Stefan Müller-Altermatt said.
