30 Sept 10
Those considering Armenia's recognition of Karabakh's independence as
untimely didn't show up at today's discussion on ""For" or "against"
Armenia's recognition of Karabakh's independence" organized by the
Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS). Only
representatives of "Heritage" faction and some experts took part in
the discussion. Regardless of the positions of political parties in
parliament, "Heritage" will put the draft law on Armenia's recognition
of Karabakh's independence up for discussion.
"I think Armenia's recognition of Karabakh's independence should not
be like a last bullet policy, but the policy on reinforcing Armenia's
diplomacy," "Heritage" MP Armen Martirosyan told "A1+".
Members of "Heritage" don't agree that the draft law is untimely or
that Armenia's recognition of Karabakh's independence may impede the
negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
"I partially agree with the authorities when they say that they are
not negotiating, but meeting," said head of "Heritage" faction Stepan
Safaryan. He doesn't exclude that Armenia's recognition of Karabakh's
independence is risky, but is certain that there are great benefits
as well.
Attending today's discussion was expert Manvel Sargsyan. According to
him, Armenians are afraid of talking about Armenia's recognition. "The
Armenian authorities say the NKR status is not a topic for discussion,
but they are negotiating the issue with Azerbaijan every day,"
says Sargsyan.
The expert suggests that the government recognize Karabakh's
independence and take the issue of the NKR status out of the
negotiations.
Manvel Sargsyan recalled that time is against Armenia and Karabakh,
while Azerbaijan succeeds in attempting to adopt anti-Armenian
documents at the international level.
