    FORMER MINISTER URGES ARMENIA TO RECOGNIZE KARABAKH'S INDEPENDENCE

    Yerevan, 25 August: The time has come to recognize the independence
    of the [Azerbaijani breakaway] Nagornyy Karabakh republic (NKR)
    by Armenia, the former foreign minister of the NKR, Arman Melikyan,
    has told our correspondent.

    "I think that the recognition of the independence of Abkhazia and
    South Ossetia by Russia can be just another stroke on the long path
    to the independence that Nagornyy Karabakh took long ago," he said
    while commenting on a statement made by the Russian Federation Council
    [upper house of parliament] today.

    Melikyan believes that Armenia must unilaterally recognize the
    sovereignty of Nagornyy Karabakh, since the republic is considerably
    ahead of its neighbours in the region in terms of development of
    democracy. "I think Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev will also put
    his signature under the statement by the senators of the Federation
    Council, because there are all preconditions for this, the main of
    which is the world order that is changing by the hour in conditions
    of equal confrontation between the USA and Russia," Melikyan said.
