Unilateral recognition of NKR's independence may bring to deadlock
Monday,
March 04
The fate of Nagorno Karabakh should be decided by the Karabakh people
themselves who should become a fully-fledged party to the negotiating
process, Vise Speaker of the Armenian parliament Edward Sharmazanov
stated today at the meeting with students of the Department of
International Affairs of Yerevan State University. Besides, according
to him, Azerbaijan should stop carrying out a racist policy.
`At the current state a unilateral recognition of Nagorno Karabakh's
independence - a step that Raffi Hovannisian insists on - may bring to
a deadlock,' Sharmazanov said.
In his words, Armenia's strategic allied partnership with Russia does
not prevent its serious cooperation with NATO.
`We cooperate with this or that country, based on our national
interests,' the vice speaker of Armenian parliament said.
When discussing Armenian-Turkish relations, he noted that the process
will not move ahead until Turkey ratifies protocols signed.
When asked by the students whether the West's sanctions against Iran
have harmed Armenian-Iranian relations, E. Sharmazanov replied that
Armenia has adopted a balanced policy on these relations and that it
views Iran as one of the most important partner neighbors and is
interested in a peaceful resolution of the problem.
