PanARMENIAN.Net – Nagorno Karabakh Republic must initiate international
recognition campaign parallel to ongoing settlement talks, according
to ARF Dashnaktsutyun Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director.

As Kiro Manoyan stated during a foreign policy forum, Armenia should
have recognized Karabakh independence in 1991-1992, while, now, in
view of ongoing settlement negotiations the move would be unreasonable.

Commenting on current stage of negotiations, he noted, ~Smediators long
ago understood that the future of Artsakh is beyond the Azeri control,
with the focus shifted on the search of a settlement formula to save
Azerbaijan~Rs face. ~SThough peaceful settlement progress may benefit
from Baku consent, it may well do without the latter,~T the expert
noted citing Kosovo experience as an example.

The forum was organized by the Armenian Center of Political and
International Studies with the assistance of U.S. National Democratic
Institute.
