The recognition of the Republic of Artsakh by the Australian State
of New South Wales is part of a chain, political scientist Levon
Melik-Shahnazaryan told a press conference today. According to him,
the recognition of Southern Sudan by Azerbaijan was another link in
that chain. According to the political scientist all this gave strong
arguments to the Armenian Foreign Minister ahead of the Paris meeting.

Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan does not doubt that Azerbaijan will have
to recognize the Republic of Artsakh sooner or later. He does not
share the opinion that the recognition of NKR is wrong; he does not
see any controversies from the legal point of view, either.

According to the political scientist, the progress in the process of
NKR recognition is a result of the coordinated policy of the Armenian
National Committees, Armenia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

Without demonstrating extra optimism Melik-Shahnazaryan said “if the
pace continues, we’ll have a few more decisions on the recognition
of Artsakh in 2013.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
