YEREVAN, JULY 27, ARMENPRESS: The ruling of the International Court
of Justice about Kosovo is a good occasion for the international
community to undertake certain steps toward the recognition of
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, head of the "European Integration"
non-governmental organization Karen Bekaryan said today at a meeting
with reporters. According to him, in the recognition process the
Karabakhi authorities and particularly the foreign ministry and
parliament must carry out active and dynamic activity.
"In this issue it is necessary to display initiative policy. Not
being a negotiating party Karabakh is free to undertake certain
steps in the process of its recognition," Karen Bekaryan said. He
highlighted the activity of the NKR parliament, noting that it is
possible to establish ties with the corresponding institutions of
other countries and make active steps directed toward recognition
thanks to which interesting results may be registered.
He also underscored the importance of the activity of the civic
society. "Non-governmental organizations, mass media and other
establishments may have their role cooperating with their partners
of other countries. It is not necessary to sit and say that nothing
will happen, it is necessary to act. We expect active involvement of
Karabakh in the recognition process," Karen Bekaryan said.
He said the ruling of the International Court of Justice will have its
impact on the process of negotiations. "As a negotiating party Armenia
is restricted in a certain respect but I am more than sure that the
court ruling will be used at maximum in the situation created at the
table of negotiations," he said, adding that Armenian parliamentary
diplomacy has an opportunity of carrying out quite interesting steps.
Its tools are NA's foreign relations, Eurointegration standing
committees, NA delegation to international establishments,
inter-parliamentary commissions.
"Within this whole Armenia's parliamentary diplomacy may undertake
steps with its partners of friend countries for starting consultations
over the NK recognition process," Bekaryan said. He said the Armenian
establishments operating in Diaspora may also have important role in
the recognition process.
