    EXPERT: MFA OF KARABAKH SHOULD START THE PROCESS OF INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION OF THE REPUBLIC

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, July 27. /ARKA/. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) should start the process of
    international recognition of the republic, head of NGO "European
    Integration" Karen Bekaryan considers.

    The best opportunity for starting the process is the decision of UN
    International Court. NKR, not being one of the parties of negotiations,
    has no constraints in its actions and can use all opportunities for
    recognition of independence of the republic.

    In July, UN International Court made consultative conclusion In Hague,
    according to which self- proclamation of independence of Kosovo does
    not contradict the norms of international law. The court states that
    international law does not contain any visible ban for proclamation
    of independence.

    As for possible steps of Armenia in this direction, Bekaryan said that
    Armenian side should use all international platforms, organizations
    and civil society for the promotion of this process.

    Armenia should also use the potential of parliament diplomacy of
    National Assembly of Armenia, its instruments, standing committees
    on foreign relations and European integration for recognition of NKR
    independence by friendly states.

    "This issue should have been priority for the structures of Armenian
    Diaspora", he said.

    Karabakh conflict started in 1988 after announcement of coming out of
    Nagorno- Karabakh from Azerbaijan. On December 10, 1991 referendum took
    place in Nagorno- Karabakh where 99.89% agreed to become independent
    from Azerbaijan. On May 12, 1994 military actions were terminated in
    the zone. About 25-30 thousand people died from each side and about
    1 million had to leave their houses.

    Cease-fire continues till now. From 1992 till present negotiations are
    conducted on peaceful regulation of the conflict in the frames of Minsk
    Group of OSCE, co-chairmen of which are USA, Russia and France.
