/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On April 28, with a vote 15 to 64, Armenian MPs
refused to introduce a bill "On recognition of Nagorno Karabakh
Republic" submitted by Heritage party leader Raffi K. Hovannisian in
the parliament's agenda.
According to independent deputy Viktor Dallakyan, this can mean that
the Armenian parliamentarians stand against recognition of Nagorno
Karabakh's independence.
For his part, chairman of the parliamentary committee on external
relations Armen Rustamyan reminded that Armenia's foreign policy is
determined by the President of the republic. He said his committee
expected discussion of the issue in the presidential administration
and the Foreign Ministry but it didn't happen.
According to Speaker Tigran Torosian, Armenia highlights international
recognition of Nagorno Karabakh, since no one in Armenia would mind
recognition of Karabakh at the republican level.
"Everything is good in its season. If necessary, it will take us
seven minutes to garner the essential votes to pass the bill," he said.
The NA also postponed discussion of the Speaker's draft statement
"On the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement" which describes the
right of Karabakhi people to self determination as 'indisputable
and irreproachable from the standpoint of the international law,'
