YEREVAN, September 13. /ARKA/. De-jure recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s independence is a matter of time, deputy speaker of Armenian parliament Eduard Sharmazanov said today.
“Karabakh will never be part of Azerbaijan. Our primary objective is to address the question of its status," he said. He added that Armenia will defend the just struggle that NKR people began in 1988.
Speaking about the agreements reached during the meetings of presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Vienna and Saint Petersburg, Sharmazanov said they are not respected by the Azerbaijani side.
"We are talking about the implementation of mechanisms of trust, and expanding the powers of the office of the OSCE chairman", said Sharmazanov.
According to him, the Karabakh people should be able to fully exercise their right to self-determination under international norms.
During the May 16 meeting in Vienna, Austria, the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to work out safeguards against ceasefire violations around Nagorno-Karabakh and resume their search for a compromise peace deal to end the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
After the June 20 meeting in St. Petersburg, the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to increase the number of international observers in the Karabakh conflict zone and noted the achievement of mutual understanding on a number of issues that will create conditions for progress in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement process. -0-
