"I think we have quite serious reasons to suppose that the
international community is obliged to recognize the independence of
Nagorno Karabakh," NKR second president Arkadi Ghoukasyan expressed
this opinion in his interview to journalists at the Stepanakert
memorial complex on September 2.
Touching upon Ramil Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan he expressed
the opinion that the international community should certainly respond
to this and "Armenia and Azerbaijan must be able to take advantage of
the situation, attract international community's attention and gain
the maximum effect."
To the question whether the Armenian party's stand may be changed on
the basis of the present events he replied that there was no point in
shifting the position of Armenia. "The whole world knows we seek for
independence and we will aspire to it until achieving the goal. That
would be another matter if Armenia and Artsakh will change their
attitude towards Azerbaijan not on part of negotiations but, on the
contrary, at the present moment I think negotiating with Azerbaijan is
pointless in general.
