Azerbaijan will resume battle actions only if it is fully ready to
them, deputy chairman of the Heritage party, Armen Martirosyan, said
at today's press-conference. In this context, he touched on the bill
on recognition of Nagornyy Karabakh initiated by the Heritage party
yesterday and discussed in the parliament. He regrets for the fact
that the bill was boycotted once again. "I think it is inadmissible
that certain forces draw a parallel between Nagornyy Karabakh and the
Turkish Cyprus. First of all, Karabakh was autonomous for many years
and Armenians were living at its territory from the very beginning.
Moreover, official Artsakh (Karabakh) declared independence in line
with all the international norms", - he said.
Yesterday the National Assembly of Armenia rejected the bill On
Recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic by the Republic of Armenia
with 10 votes "for" and 1 "abstention," Wednesday. Zaruhi Postanjyan,
an opposition MP representing Heritage Party, had submitted the
bill. Parliamentarians from the Republican and Orinats Yerkir parties
of the ruling coalition did not participate in the voting along with
the Armenian National Congress, Prosperous Armenia Party and some
other parliamentarians.
Touching on the forthcoming meeting of the presidents of Armenia
and Azerbaijan, Martirosyan said one should not wait for historical
consequences from this meeting. "I think it will be a regular meeting
just to observe formalities", - he concluded.
