Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan explained the country's position
on the recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
"Today it is often asked why Armenia does not recognize the
independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The answer is clear-by
the same reason for which it did not recognize independence of Kosovo.
In conditions of the unsettled Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenia can
not recognize any other formation of the king, unless it recognizes
the "Nagorno Karabakh Republic", said Dargsyan at a meeting with
Armenian ambassadors to foreign countries and country's permanent
representatives in international organizations.
The head of state voiced confidence that the use of the right
for self-determination by way of separation takes time, in the
result of which all the concerned sides should accept the idea
of self-determination, like it occurred during the USSR or
Czechoslovakia's collapse.
"This is the subject of our talks with Azerbaijan on Nagorno
Karabakh. Our top goal is to persuade Azerbaijani side peacefully
and through negotiations that recognition of the right of "Nagorno
Karabakh" for self-determination is inevitable", said the Armenian
President.
Sargsyan says that he expects the active involvement of the entire
diplomatic corps of Armenia in the Karabakh issue. At the same time, he
noted that "Azerbaijani officials and diplomats voice their approaches
on the Karabakh problem in all possible instances and when possible".
Sargsyan considers that Armenian diplomats should present the legal
demand of Karabakh people to inform about the imposed war for existence
on the due level and show that the actions, initiated against Nagorno
Karabakh were the attempts of ethnic cleansing, which failed only to
the will and brevity of the Armenian people.
