Why Armenia fails to recognize Karabakh's independence?
July 23, 2010 | 14:56
The recognition of Karabakh's independence by Armenia may weaken
Yerevan's positions in the talks, Coordinator of Armenian National
Congress (ANC) Levon Zurabyan stated at a press conference on July 23,
asked whether the recognition of Karabakh's independence by Armenia
may contribute to its international recognition.
`The issue should be considered in the following context. The most
important thing for us is the international recognition of
Nagorno-Karabakh. Thus, we should logically understand whether
Armenia's such step will contribute to the international recognition
of NKR or vice versa, will weaken Yerevan's negotiating positions,'
Zurabyan said stressing the latter should be observed now.
As reported earlier, at the meeting on October 17, 2008 Armenian First
President, Leader of oppositional Armenian National Congress (ANC)
raised the issue of recognition of NKR. `Taking into account that
after the recognition of Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the
Karabakh issue is low on the list of conflict resolutions, the time
has come the Armenian Parliament comes forward with an initiative for
the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh. Serzh Sargsyan will not be
obliged to ratify this initiative. However, without signing the
Parliament's resolution at his disposal, he will be able to resist the
external pressure, Ter-Petrosyan emphasized.
