Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian rejected reports in the Armenian press that he had made statements supporting the Madrid Principles during his recent visit to Baku.
Hovannisian told reporters today that he has never supported the Madrid Principles surrounding the Karabakh conflict settlement and that the only word he uttered in Baku that has any link to that doctrine was the term "refugees".
"I have frequently declared that when the territorial integrity of Artsakh is recognized and when Armenians have the right to return to their historic homeland, then those Azerbaijanis who wish to do so can return to their former homes in Artsakh," Hovannisian clarified.
