High time for Armenian parliament to recognize Karabakh's
independence, says NKR's NA Deputy Chairman
10:11 - 24.07.10
The ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) may be the
basis for Armenia to start the process of recognizing the independence
of Nagorno Karabakh, Democracy parliamentary faction MP at the
National Assembly of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh Vahram Atanesyan
said at a press conference on Friday in Stepanakert, the capital city
of Karabakh.
On July 22 the ICJ ruled that the declaration of Kosovo's independence
does not run counter with international law.
NKR's National Assembly Deputy Chairperson Arthur Tovmasyan, in turn,
said that they used to have an agreement with Armenia's National
Assembly that it will recognize Karabakh's independence when the
necessary moment comes.
"I think this is the very moment. Our efforts must be decoupled from
the negotiations, and NKR's international recognition. We think that
if some states recognize NKR, it will not hinder the settlement of the
issue," said he.
Atanesyan further said the NKR will not turn to the ICJ with a claim
to recognize its independence as it does not question its
independence.
"It is Azerbaijan that can take such step. We can help that country to
turn to the court and get an answer, as did Serbia. Our independence
it is not questioned."
Armen Sargsyan, an Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun,
ARF-D) MP in NKR said the wrong are those who think that only NKR must
participate in the talks.
"The NK issue is a pan-Armenian one thus the NKR must be a negotiating
party, while Armenia must take part in the talks as a guarantor of
NKR's security and independence," said he.
