Nagorno Karabakh Republic's recognition process should start from
today, ex-foreign minister of Karabakh Arman Melikyan said at a news
conference on Wednesday.
"Armenia has unused potential. The recognition process should start
followed by the recognition of the nearby regions," Melikyan said.
Though, according to the NKR ex-FM, the Armenian authorities do
not have such wish. "Armenia is not recognizing Nagorno Karabakh
Republic not to be the only author of it," he said, adding that it
is a bankrupt approach.
"Not doing it after handover and pardoning of Azerbaijani murderer
Ramil Safarov is another way to reaffirm this bankruptcy," he said.
Arman Melikyan said Turkey has recognized North Cyprus' independence
while no other state has done it.
According to former politician, Armenia should start two parallel
processes - recognition of the NKR and conduct negotiations at the
same time.
"It is necessary to state that we start the recognition process as
the peace talks do not give anything, but at the same time we continue
negotiations hoping for results," he said.
Melikyan said the Armenian authorities do not agree with this proposal,
but accept Madrid Principals which ex-FM says are unacceptable for him.
Melikyan believes that neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan want to solve
the issue in a military way.
