Recognition of Karabakh independence does not run counter to
international law norms, nor will it harm the conflict settlement
process, according to a legal scholar.
As Andreas Ghukasyan stated at a discussion titled "Karabakh Issue
in Armenia and International Scene: New Situation, Old Approaches",
border inviolability principle has long lost its urgency, which is
proved by secession of Kosovo, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
"Under current conditions, Armenia must reconsider its position on
Karabakh conflict settlement and develop a specific policy. Armenia
must recognize Karabakh as an equal state, as its non-recognition
of Artsakh gives Azerbaijan reason to lay claims to Karabakh lands,"
the expert said.
"No one will be able to force Artsakh into unilateral concessions,"
the expert stressed, adding that Armenia and Artsakh must legalize
their union.
