Do not blame Armenia for not recognizing NKR's independence: Bako Sahakyan
10:56 - 24.07.10
The Republic of Nagorno Karabakh will continue the process of its
international recognition, NKR President Bako Sahakyan told a press
conference on Friday.
According to Sahakyan the advisory ruling by the International Court
of Justice over the legality of Kosovo's independence will bring about
new geopolitical situation.
Sahakyan also said he did not see Karabakh's future status as one that
used to be during the Soviet era.
`Armenia' President [Serzh Sargsyan] is pursuing such a policy which
greatly differs from the destructive policy of the other side,' said
he.
In his words Armenia's constructive efforts are aimed at the
settlement of the NK issue which has greatly been appreciated by the
international community, while Azerbaijan attempts to fail the
negotiations process and does not contribute to the logics of the
process.
`NKR in turn tries to contribute to the work of OSCE Minsk Group,'
said Bako Sahakyan, adding that the relative peace that currently
exists in the region, has been established also due to the OSCE MG's
efforts.
The reason the talks are not that much effective is that NKR does not
participate in them.
Further he said he did not think that ICJ's ruling over Kosovo will
seriously affect the works by OSCE MG, but even if it does, Karabakh
will only welcome it.
`Recognition of Karabakh's independence by Armenia must not be an end
itself; this is a process that must have its substantiation. We must
take it into consideration that Armenia is responsible in front of the
international community, therefore Armenia must not be blamed for not
recognizing NKR's independence,' explained NKR President Bako
Sahakyan, adding that that day will definitely come.
