Yerevan – APA. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan ratified amendments
to law on international agreements, APA reports.

According to new amendments, Armenia will be able to sign agreements
with unrecognized “republics”.

Armenian parliament adopted draft amendment on international agreements
on December 17, during the last reading. These amendments consider
securing peace with subjects unrecognized by the international law,
regulation of human rights protection, humanitarian, economic and
financial aid.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan noted that
according to the draft law, subjects unrecognized by the international
law may take the floor as a supporter of international agreement. So,
Armenia is intending to ratify agreements and contracts with
separatist “Nagorno Karabakh Republic”. Kocharyan said that Armenia
acts as guarantee of security of “NKR” and proves it to continue the
signing process of bilateral agreements: “Recognition of Karabakh’s
independence is on the agenda and it will be realized in more
appropriate time, when it will be possible to achieve maximum effect”.
