"Certainly, yes," this was the answer of Ruben Hakobyan, the leader of
the Heritage Party parliamentary group, to a question of www.aravot.am
whether he thought that the time had come for Armenia's recognition
of the independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
"There have been developments against this background and all this
proves and we think that the issue of recognizing Karabakh is a burning
issue. The Republic of Armenia should recognize the independence of
the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic," Mr. Hakobyan said, meaning the fact
of returning the Azerbaijani officer who had axed an Armenian officer
to Azerbaijan and the developments that had followed.
Let us remind that Zaruhi Postanjyan, the secretary of the Heritage
Party parliamentary group, put forward the Recognition of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic bill in the parliament. The bill has been
put forward for the second time. In the first case, the proposal
of the Heritage Party was not successful. Tomorrow the parliament
will convene an extraordinary session; we inquired whether it was
possible that they would talk about that issue too. Mr. Hakobyan
said that according to reliable information he had, the parliament
will make a statement on what had happened at tomorrow's session,
"The issue of recognition is not on the agenda. It would be good, if
it was on the agenda and we would take back our bill. However, we will
propose it during the discussion." www.aravot.am also inquired of the
Heritage Party parliamentary group leader whether they expected that
the government would agree to the proposal of the Heritage Party. "We
will see tomorrow," Mr. Hakobyan said.
