STEPANAKERT.- Massachusetts lawmakers’ resolution supporting
Nagorno-Karabakh’s independence is the second measure adopted in U.S.
at the level of state (the first was Rhode Island), said Karabakh
official.
Vahram Atanesyan, head of standing committee on foreign affairs at the
Karabakh parliament, welcomed the resolution calling it an action `in
support of freedom’.
Atanesyan stressed realistic decisions proposed by the states show the
Karabakh side may expect that trend of recognizing de facto
independence of Nagorno-Karabakh may become a priority for the
government.
`Recognition of Karabakh’s independence would ease tension and would
promote stability in the South Caucasus which is in the interests of
the U.S.,’ he added.
