/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian parliament member Armen Ashotyan doesn't
share the optimism about soonest resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict.
However, Armenia would be glad if Russia recognized NKR, according
to him.
"Russia has lingered with recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia
for a long time. But after the recognition, its officials said it
was a forced measure meant to guarantee security of the breakaway
republics. I think Armenia has a joker, that is de jure recognition
of Nagorno Karabakh in case of necessity," he said, adding that
NKR's statehood development is not inferior to that of South Ossetia
and Abkhazia.
"Armenia wishes the interests of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic were
taken into consideration in the settlement process," Ashotyan said.
