YEREVAN. Nov 12
The members of the Armenian parliament refused to vote to recognize the
self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic's independence on Wednesday.
A bill titled 'On concepts of military-political foundations of
security of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the Republic of Armenia'
was once again submitted by the opposition faction Heritage.
The bill, which envisions the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh's
independence, was supported by only eight out of 131 parliamentarians.
The Heritage faction has submitted a bill on the recognition
of Nagorno-Karabakh's independence several times. However, the
parliamentary majority has insisted that this would be inappropriate at
present as it could torpedo the negotiations on settling the conflict
over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The other opposition parliamentary factions also voted against
the bill.
The leadership of the Nagorno-Karabakh parliament had also signaled
earlier that it opposed Nagorno-Karabakh's unilateral recognition
by Yerevan.
