- In 1987 November 18 A. Aganbegian, the Kremlin counselor stated on expediency of uniting Mountainous Karabakh with the Armenian SSR. This statement played a crucial role in firing national hatred and fomenting the conflict and in November-December demonstrations calling to annex the Nagorny-Karabakh Autonomous Region of the Azerbaijan SSR to the Armenian SSR were held in Yerevan (Armenia). In December, 1989 the Supreme Council of the Armenian SSR passed a resolution "on reunification of the Armenian SSR and NKAO"; thus in violence of all basic norms and principles of international law, Armenia officially declared its claim against the territorial integrity of the neighboring state. On September 2, 1991 Armenians declared the establishment of the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR)" in the territory of Nagorno Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The illegal armed groups of about 15.000 people were formed as a "self-defense forces of NKR". Azerbaijan immediately refused to recognize this republic and basing on the 68 article of the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the 4^th article of the Constitution Act “On State Independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan” and the international low principles on sovereignty and territorial integrity abolished the NKAO as a national territorial unit of Azerbaijan Republic. The aim in the abolishment was to restore Azerbaijan’s sovereign rights in the mountainous part of Karabakh, disarmament of illegal armed forces, defense of the rights, freedom and dignity of Azerbaijani citizens and regulate inter-national relations.
