`Nagorno Karabakh is a conflict not only between Armenia and Azerbaijan but also between two core principles of the international law - the right of self-determination and the right of territorial integration. We must always remember that whatever is gained on the battle field in early 90s is only half of the work. Similar victory is needed in the legal and political field,' Emil Babayan, dean of law faculty at the American University of Armenia, told a discussion on the concept of self-determination. The seminar was dedicated to the 15th anniversary of Nagorno Karabakh's independence. Babayan detailed the preconditions which make a nation entitled to the right of self-determination and said people of Nagorno Karabakh fully qualify to that. /Panorama.am/
