The decision of The Hague International Court on Kosovo's recognition
can serve as a background for the Karabakh peace process, the leader
of "European Integration" NGO Karen Bekaryan told the reporters
on Tuesday.
According to him, Armenia as a negotiating party, with the President
and Foreign Minister is somewhat constrained in the peace process. "In
this regard, I do not consider expedient expecting direct steps
from Armenian Foreign Ministry or President's Office, as this will be
involved in the peace process," Bekaryan said. He stressed the Armenian
parliamentary diplomacy has an opportunity to make interesting moves.
"If we remember the tools of the parliamentary diplomacy, we will see
each of them enables an opportunity to take certain steps," Bekaryan
said, indicating the standing committees on Foreign Affairs, European
Integration, Armenian delegations in international organizations,
inter-parliamentary commissions and friendship groups.
Today, the Armenian parliamentary opposition has an opportunity to
hold consultations with friendly states to recognize independence of
Nagorno-Karabakh, he said.
According to the expert, the mass media and non-governmental
organizations, as well as the Armenian Diaspora should also be
involved in the international recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh. The
Armenian Diaspora should not initiate the recognition process of
Nagorno-Karabakh, but actively support the initiatives.
