"If the President proposes that the Armenian Parliament recognize
Nagorno-Karabakh's independence after the trilateral meeting in
Astrakhan on Oct. 27, it is no problem," RA Parliament Speaker Hovik
Abrahamyan told journalists.
He stressed that the Armenian authorities, ruling coalition, consider
it inadvisable to adopt the bill submitted by the Heritage Party,
as they are for a settlement within the OSCE Minsk Group "Let no one
think that the Parliament Speaker, Foreign Minister or the coalition
do not want Nagorno-Karabakh to be recognized by Armenia. We just
do not want to interfere with the negotiations within the OSCE Minsk
Group," Abrahamyan said. He promised that the bill will without fail
be put to the vote during this four-day session. "I proposed that the
Heritage faction consult with the other parliamentary forces before
submitting the bill, but they did not listen to me," the NA Speaker
said. The bill can only be withdrawn from the agenda with the authors'
consent. Abrahamyan said he is going to invite the Heritage faction
members to discuss their initiative and make a reasonable decision.
"If, however, a political decision is made necessitating
Nagorno-Karabakh's recognition by the Armenian Parliament, the issue
will be put on the agenda ahead of schedule," Abrahamyan said. He
reported that the bill will be put to the vote on October 27 or 28.
