/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On April 2, the NKR National
Assembly Committee of Foreign Relations held closed
session on tendencies in the Karabakh talks that was
followed by a news briefing by chair of the Committee
Vahram Atanesyan and the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Georgy Petrosyan.
With regard to the talks, namely in the context of
recognition of Kosovo and the recent geopolitical
developments, Georgy Petrosyan noted the importance of
reconsideration of approaches of the Armenian side.
According to Vahram Atanesyan, the discussion was the
continuation of the NKR parliament hearings on the
Karabakh issue two years ago. `No conclusion was made
after the hearings. Considering that the situation is
changing, and I think that the situation regarding the
talks has changed and the NKR legislature should
present its final vision on the talks. The current
discussion is a consultation. If necessity rises, more
discussions will be held, and the National Assembly
may hold new hearings which will issue a conclusion
reflecting the stance of all the political forces in
parliament,' he said.
`Like Azerbaijan, which urges respect for its
territorial integrity, NKR has the right to press for
international recognition of independence, first of
all, on the level of its parliament. To some extent,
we must lay out the way for the executive, because
they will be freer in their actions if they are backed
by the members of parliament,' Vahram Atanesyan said,
