Nagorno-Karabakh must become negotiator, NKR MP says
July 23, 2010 | 20:48
The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) must become a principal party to
the negotiations with Azerbaijan, Vahram Atanesyan, Chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, NKR Parliament, told reporters in
Stepanakert.
As regard Armenia as negotiator, it is the wrong format, he said.
“Armenia must take part in the negotiations as guarantor of the NKR’s
security,” Atanesyan said.
Artur Tovmasyan, Chairman of the Free Homeland faction, stated that
the international recognition of the NKR will contribute to a peaceful
settlement of the conflict.
The ICJ ruled on July 22 that the Kosovo authorities’ decision to
declare independence in 2008 did not violate international law. The
ICJ verdict has no binding force. However, experts and politicians are
sure the verdict will have political consequences.
