Richard Giragosyan says what took place in South Sudan, NK people did long ago

YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: The vote of the people of South Sudan for their independence was done in Nagorno Karabakh long ago as a result of which all the experts are convinced that Nagorno Karabakh will never be part of the Azerbaijani Republic, director of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies Richard Giragosyan said speaking to Armenpress. He said nevertheless there is difference between the situation over the NK conflict and situation in South Sudan.

According to the expert, the examples of Kosovo and South Sudan show that the preference in the international policy is given to the right of people to self-determination and not the territorial integrity and it may serve as precedent examples. “The independence of South Sudan and separation from Sudan is sponsored by a number of powerful states who stemming from their own political interests with such step punish the leaders of the political regime in Sudan. The punishment is agreed with the policy carried out by Sudan and genocide committed in Darfur,” Richard Giragosyan noted.
