There is no alternative to the international recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan has said.
“Azerbaijan has not refused form its terrorist policy ever since 1988,” Kocharyan said at a conference in Yerevan titled “Breaking the Siege of Stepanakert: 25 years later.”
“This policy took the shape of war crimes during the April war. In the face of Azerbaijan we have to deal with a subject that pretends to be negotiating and refuses from its own signatures,” the Deputy Foreign Minister said.
“Azerbaijan uses the negotiations as a cover for its preparations for a new war. Under these conditions there is no alternative to the international recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.”
