    ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION OVER RECOGNITION OF NAGORNO KARABAKH

    Tert.am
    30.09.10

    The Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS)
    convened a roundtable discussion today entitled "Should Armenia
    Recognize the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh?"

    According to a release issued by the ACNIS, participants in the
    discussion included several members of the Armenian parliament,
    leading analysts, policy specialists, and representatives from civil
    society and the media.

    Welcoming the participants, ACNIS Administrative Director Karapet
    Kalenchyan noted that the issue of Armenia's possible recognition of
    Artsakh's independence is a timely topic for discussion, as Armenia's
    parliament has accepted a proposal by the Heritage Party to schedule
    a formal discussion of the issue in early October.

    ACNIS Senior Analyst Manvel Sargsyan then examined the issue of
    the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh's (NKR) recognition and stressed
    that "by carrying out negotiations within the framework of the OSCE
    Minsk Group, Armenia continues to accept the other countries' stance,
    according to which NKR's status must be defined during the talks held
    between the conflicting parties," Sargsyan argued.

    "That is, Armenia's leadership constantly states that the status
    cannot be bargained with, yet it continues to discuss the issue with
    Azerbaijan, thereby actually recognizing Azerbaijan's 'entitlement'
    to decide the status issue."

    "Today, Armenia has nothing to combat against the anti-Armenian
    resolutions that are being adopted by international organizations,
    and the international policy toward Armenia now focuses more on the
    existing uncertainty concerning NKR's status," explained MR Sargsyan.
