    ARMENIA PARTY PROPOSES MILITARY ALLIANCE WITH NAGORNO-KARABAKH

    The Armenian Revolutionary Federation, an opposition party also known
    as Dashnaktsutyun, has introduced a draft law for Armenia to form a
    military alliance with the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic,
    a disputed Armenian-speaking enclave in neighboring Azerbaijan.

    The bill, introduced by Dashnaksutyun's group in parliament, "does
    not contain any disputable legal terms" and the proposed law "would
    guarantee security for Nagorno-Karabakh, including in the event of
    military aggression," and might help the enclave achieve international
    recognition, group chairman Vahan Hovhannisyan said at a briefing
    on Friday.

    The legislature also has on its agenda a draft law to recognize
    Nagorno-Karabakh's independence introduced by another opposition
    party, Heritage.

    On Thursday, the ruling coalition said it would boycott the vote on
    the bill, arguing that as Armenia's unilateral recognition of the
    region's independence might hinder talks on the settlement of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The vote was put off until December 9.
