The international community fully understands Yerevan's stance on the
Karabakh peace process, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
said in Parliament when replying to Head of Heritage Faction Rouben
Hakobyan's question. The latter asked the minister about the expediency
of taking decisive steps for Armenia's recognition of independence
of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic amidst the abrupt response of the
international community to the Azeri murder Ramil Safarov's extradition
and pardoning.
Hakobyan thinks that such step of Yerevan would provide Armenia with
immunity in the Karabakh peace process and expand the NKR's capacities
in the talks. Nalbandian, in turn, said that the international
community's consolidated position on this issue is the result of the
competent and balanced foreign policy of Armenia's leadership. As
regards the recognition of the NKR, Nalbandian said that it is
inexpedient at the moment and may hinder the fair resolution of
the problem. "Armenia will continue taking all measures on the
conflict settlement, exercise of the Artsakh people's right to
self-determination and international recognition of the NKR's
independence. This is the basis of our talks", he said.
