G Melikya: Great Britain pursuing oil interests in Azerbaijan
“The right to self-determination of peoples has always been a priority. However, some states or statesmen, depending on certain geo-political situation, make selective statements,” RPA council member Gagik Melikyan said commenting on Great Britain’s PM statement: "I am not proposing a full discussion now on the Falklands, but I hope you noted they are holding a referendum and you should respect their views. We believe in self-determination and act as democrats here in the G20."
Speaking to Panorama.am Mr Melikyan hailed Mr Cameron’s statement on self-determination right, but stressed that they are making it whenever they find it accurate.
“Great Britain is pursuing certain oil interests in Azerbaijan, and it’s not favorable for them to emphasize the importance of self-determination of NK people. I would like to remind Mister Cameron that defined by the UN Charter the right to self-determination, unlike the right to territorial integrity, is not only a principle, but a goal and it would be better to remark this when issuing statements about NK issue,” he said.
