THE WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHES NKR REPRESENTATIVE'S LETTER

In its October 17 issue, The Washington Post published NKR Representative Vardan Barseghian's letter to the Editor in response to an October 5 news story entitled, "Independent Candidates Court Anger in Azerbaijan Campaign".
The letter reads:
While reporting on the parliamentary election campaign in Azerbaijan, Philip Kennicott misrepresented key facts about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In response to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic's democratic aspiration for self-determination, Azerbaijan launched a war against Nagorno-Karabakh, not Armenia. Nagorno-Karabakh was able to take the war outside its borders, pressuring Azerbaijan into signing the 1994 cease-fire agreement.
Nagorno-Karabakh, not Armenia, now controls some 8 percent, not 16 percent, of Azerbaijani territory. This buffer zone between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan helps maintain a relative peace in the region.
