Armenia
The international community will always cite Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan's speech at OSCE Summit in Astana: "In the case of
Azerbaijani military aggression, Armenia will have no alternative
but recognize Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent state," Vladimir
Karapetyan, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Armenian
National Congress (ANC) told the reporters on December 6.
According to the ANC member, the statement was a wrong message sent
to the world community.
"Sargsyan's statement will always be caused to backfire on Armenia,"
he noted.
"When Armenia initiates recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh's independence,
the international community will say the latter laid down conditions. I
regret Armenian President made two incompatible statements within a
month. In Aghdam, the President said if Azerbaijan unleashes a war,
this time Armenia's blow will be final and deadly. I have hailed this
quite an adequate approach. However, declaring Armenia will have no
alternative but recognize Nagorno-Karabakh if Azerbaijan provokes
a military aggression, particularly, to condition the recognition
process by the third party's actions, is strange to me," he said.
Meanwhile, Karapetyan stressed if "Heritage"-initiated bill on
Karabakh's independence is put to the vote, the Parliament should
vote unanimous "yes".
However, according to the oppositionist, recognition of
Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia is inexpedient at the moment. "If Armenia
starts the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh, all the signed documents
and approaches towards the conflict resolution will be called into
question. "In this regard, I do not think Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) will approve of the bill," Karapetyan concluded.
