/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Legally, Karabakh today is an independent state,
and the government there is striving to strengthen the governmental
institutions, Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated in an
interview to Al Jazeera TV company. In his words, for Yerevan, both
possibilities - the NKR being an independent state and joining Armenia
- are suitable.
"I think in the future, relations between both countries - Armenia and
Karabakh - will develop and form a federation. The future will decide
what will come after that. The future generations will decide on the
kind of relation the two countries shall have," the Armenian leader
stated. Speaking of the opportunity for the international community
to recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh, Kocharian said,
"I do not recall any similar situation which resulted in recognition
that came easily.
Decades of hard work are needed for a young nation to get that
recognition. There are factors. One important factor is for the world
to see that an independent state has proven itself as an efficient
state, capable of performing the tasks that any independent country
can perform on its territories. I believe that Nagorno Karabakh has
proven that it is a nation that can rely on itself and is capable of
developing as a nation.
Therefore, I am optimistic about the recognition. In fact, the Republic
of Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora around the world are actively
working on gaining this recognition soon so that Nagorno Karabakh can
join the international community. In order to achieve this, Karabakh
is making the necessary changes to build better social institutions
and to achieve effective democracy."
