NKR RECOGNITION IS ARMENIA'S NUMBER ONE FOREIGN POLICY PRIORITY
STEPANAKERT, APRIL 7, ARMENPRESS: Speaking in the capital of Karabagh,
the Chairman of the Armenian National Assembly's Standing Committee
on Foreign Relations, said that the number one priority of Armenia's
Foreign policy is for Karabagh to gain international recognition.
"That process must never be viewed as something other than the
advancement of democratic principles among the public, specifically
because the starting point in gaining international recognition is
democracy," said Armen Rustamian during a meeting with ARF youth
organizations and journalists.
He stressed that the will of the people--both in fostering democracy
and safeguarding the principals of self-determination--must be conveyed
in accordance with international standards.
"At the end of the day, the catalyst for both is the public's
determination; both are so intertwined that to attempt to realize one
without the other is not only unrealistic, but also impossible. To put
it another way, the world will not recognize any republic--no matter
how 'guaranteed' its right to self-determination is," noted Rustamian.
