September 10, 2011 - 13:21 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian lobby should work towards supporting Latin
American countries in their willingness to recognize the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic, according to the head of Heritage opposition party
parliamentary group.
At news conference in Yerevan, Stepan Safaryan commented on recent
statement by the Foreign Minister of Uruguay who said that his
government has begun the process to make an official announcement
regarding the status of Nagorno Karabakh.
`I am personally convinced that Nagorno Karabakh is part of historic
Armenia and it must be independent and in a short while be unified
with Armenia. This is the only resolution to the Artsakh issue,' Luis
Almagro said.
`Having no geopolitical interests in the region, Latin American
countries are quite capable of NKR recognition. The issue was
discussed back in 1990s, with Raffi Hovannisian as Armenian Foreign
Minister,' Safaryan said.
The MP characterized legalizing decolonization among the hardest
issues for Armenian lobby to resolve. Safaryan slammed the Armenian
authorities' refusal to be the first in recognizing Artsakh, also
expressing doubts about their intensification of Karabakh recognition
policy.
