Vartan Oskanian: Karabakh's Soviet-era autonomous status must be a negotiation benchmark

Armenia’s former foreign minister Vartan Oskanian (1998-2008), in a video posted on his Facebook page, suggests that the agenda of the talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan must necessarily include the fact that the people of Nagorno-Karabakh had an autonomous status in Soviet times. “This should become a benchmark for any discussion concerning the future fate of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.”
