:::: Soviet laws don’t secure the independence. The countries of the former USSR became independent not because Soviet laws supported their independence, but because USSR ceased to exist. Since it was a federation of 15 countries, each of them became independent within the Soviet time borders. This fact was accepted by the international community. If Karabakh used the same legal means as Azerbaijan to become independent, why its independence is not recognized by anyone, while Azerbaijan is recognized as an independent state? I find your source pretty biased and really wonder who sponsors these guys, but since we don’t check the sources I agree that there can be various views on this subject, like on any other. You probably know the popular saying about opinions being like a certain part of human body and that everybody has one. It’s hard to find a point that is not disputed in this conflict. In opinion of these guys Karabakh should be independent, but in reality its not, and international organizations and leading countries of the world support territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Most of reputable sources use the words de-jure, formally or legally part of Azerbaijan to describe the status of NK. Since de-jure is used by such reputable sources like BBC, I don’t see why we can’t use it as well. [[User:Grandmaster|Grandmaster]] 13:46, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
::::Here is where you are wrong, most sources that use the term 'de jure' claim that Karabakh is not de jure independent, which is not to be equaled with de jure part of Azerbaijan. As I said, this term means legally, and Azerbaijan always refused to take part with Karabakh on a mediation about whatever or not legally speaking Karabakh should be independent because it knows that it will lose Karabakh from this process. That there are legal grounds to make Karabakh an independent republic clearly shows that the term de jure as an established fact can not be included there. Again, see my proposition, and you'll see that there is no such terms. [[User:Fadix|''Fad'']] [[User talk:Fadix|(ix)]] 19:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
