Foreign Minister of Uruguay Luis Almagro has come forth with an
unprecedented statement. The ARF press service told Armenpress
that Almagro, referring to NK issue, particularly stated, "Today we
study the issue for expressing a viewpoint on a state level, but I am
personally sure that NK is the historical part of Armenia and must be
independent and joined with Armenia in a short period of time. This
is the only solution to the Artsakh issue".
The Minister made this statement during a conference dedicated
to Armenia-Uruguay relations and undertaken by Armenian National
Committee of South America and Uruguay-Armenia parliamentary group.
During the meeting head of NA ARF faction Vahan Hovhanniyan, who
presented there Armenia, qualified this statement as unprecedented.
"For the first time an advanced and democratic state like Uruguay
expresses a viewpoint, which proves about the position of ruling
political forces. But Uruguay is a democratic state and its statement
must still be discussed, and it will take some time and work,"
Mr. Hovhannisyan added.
Uruguay was the first state to recognize the Armenian Genocide in 1965.
