Armenia welcomes California State Senate resolution recognizing independence of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic

YEREVAN, August 28. / ARKA /. Armenia’s foreign minister Edward Nalbandian has welcomed today the resolution of California State Senate to recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), saying such resolutions pave the way for the international recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

"The more Azerbaijan hampers the efforts of Armenia and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to settle the Karabakh issue, the more such resolution we can expect, paving the way for the international recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic,” he said, according to RIA Novosti.

The California State Senate, led by incoming Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon, by an overwhelming majority of votes on Wednesday passed Assembly member Mike Gatto’s resolution, AJR 32, encouraging Nagorno-Karabakh’s continuing efforts to develop as a free and independent nation and formally calling upon the upon the President and Congress of the United States to support the self-determination and democratic independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

AJR 32 was adopted by the California State Assembly in May 2014 by a sweeping vote of 70 to 2 under the leadership of Speaker Emeritus John Perez. -0-
