Baku. Anakhanum Hidayatova - APA. Armenian Parliament's Standing
Committee on Foreign Relations failed to pass a decision regarding
the draft law "On recognition of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh",
APA reports quoting Azatutyan radio. Members of the ruling Republican
Party did not participate in the voting.
They said though they support recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh as
an independent state, the adoption of such a law is inexpedient for
the moment.
The position of the ruling party prevents the draft law developed at
the initiative of Secretary of Heritage Party parliamentary faction
Zaruhi Postanjyan from being included in the agenda. The Commission
offered the Parliament to issue a special statement instead of a law.
However, Postanjyan refused to withdraw the draft law.
The government officials also voted against the draft law. Armenian
Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharian considers that changing
the rules of the international game at this moment is inexpedient.
