Otto Luchterhandt: Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh have the right to self determination
One of the most prominent specialists in Germany in the field of international and public Law, the Hamburg University Professor Otto Luchterhandt recalled his opinion published about the status of Nagorno Karabakh in 1992. Professor reminded about this at a joint seminar organised by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and Luys Foundation on constitutional reforms of Armenia.
"I stressed that Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh have the right to self-determination which made their liberation movement in the 1990s quite legitimate," Professor Luchterhandt said.
In is words, he didn't notice much enthusiasm then among the German official circles.
