"Nagorno Karabkh has all possible conditionas and prerequisites for its
independence to be recognized," Head of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (ARF) Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office
Kiro Manoyan told reporters before the start of the ARF Youth Forum
dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Artsakhi Movement. According
to him, Armenia should be one of the first countries to recognize
the independence of Karabakh.
With its activity over the past weeks Azerbaijan delays the settlement
of the issue. First, it wants to change the format of negotiations,
which means starting the process over again. According to Kiro Manoyan,
in this case Azerbaijan will already negotiate with Karabakh, since
if the format of the talks changes, it means starting the process
from the principal thing, and the principal thing here is Karabakh.
"If Azerbaijan continues this policy, the main task of Armenia will be
the recognition of Karabakh's independence and working to have other
countries of the world do the same," Kiro Manoyan said. He considers
that the recognition of Karabkh's independence is rather realistic
today, but it should be done deriving from the logic of negotiations
and not out of other calculations. "There were suggestions to recognize
the independence of Nagorno Karabakh at the National Assembly. I think,
however, that it does not derive from the logic of negotiations today,"
Kiro Manoyan added.
