Armenian MP: international recognition of NKR, settlement of Karabakh problem do not need any precedent

YEREVAN, September 5. /ARKA/. International recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) and the settlement of Karabakh problem do not need any precedent, MP from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), member of RPA’s Council Armen Ashotian told journalists.

According to him, the Karabakh problem is on the international political agenda and cannot be solved separately from the international developments.

“Being the place of collision of the interests of super powers Karabakh problem is doomed to consideration within the global logics of international developments, as a result of which OSCE MG Co-Chairs and the conflicting sides fail to come to a final conclusion,” Ashotian said.

According to him, settlement of NKR’s status is within the international law and the parallels with Kosovo can serve as an additional, not decisive factor. Ashotian pointed out that NKR is de-facto recognized as a separate state formation practically by all the sides of the negotiations, including Azerbaijan and the Co-Chairs.

The issue of de-jure recognition can be brought up by Armenia and Karabakh only if an opportune moment and the required state of affairs are available, Ashotian said. In this respect, the time passes in favor of NKR’s and Armenia’s people.–0--
