Will Uruguay become the first state to recognize the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic just like it became the pioneer in recognizing the Armenian
Genocide?
"My country is working in that direction," Vice-President of Uruguay
Danilo Astori said at a joint press conference with the Speaker of
the Armenian National Assembly Galust Sahakyan.
Mr. Astori added, however, that his government is aspiring to
maintain good relations with all countries, including those involved
in conflict.
As for the relations between Armenia and Uruguay, the Vice-President
said there are no discrepancies between the two countries and this
is reflected in the voting within the framework of international
organizations, particularly the UN.
Uruguay's Vice-President refrained from responding to a question about
the probability of recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Israel
before the 100th anniversary. "I'm sorry I can't speak for others,"
he said.
Speaking about the issue, Armenian Parliament Speaker Galust Sahakyan
said "there have been serious discussions in Israel on the Armenian
Genocide recognition over the past years." He informed that an Armenian
parliamentary delegation will visit Israel in January 2015.
As for the process of international recognition of the Armenian
Genocide, in general, Danilo Astori said "the world has already
recognized it, but does not confess it, taking into consideration
the economic and other realities."
