YEREVAN. - The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) takes and
will take all possible steps for the international recognition
of Nagorno-Karabakh independence, Deputy Speaker, RPA spokesman
Edward Sharmazanov told Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the bill
submitted by opposition Heritage parliament group on Nagorno-Karabakh
recognition.
"One-sided recognition of Karabakh independence should not be premature
and hamper the negotiation process of the Karabakh conflict settlement,
as well as the international recognition of its independence. However,
if one-sided recognition of the Karabakh independence is the only way
leading to its international recognition, Armenia will recognize it,"
Sharmazanov said.

parliament group secretary Zaruhi Postanjyan has submitted a bill
on Nagorno-Karabakh recognition. If the bill passes, Armenia will de
jure recognize the status of Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh] based on the
fact that it fully meets the international standards for establishing
sovereignty.
