The Armenian parliament has not discussed yet the bill on the
recognition of NKR presented by the Heritage faction, said Armen
Rustamyan, chair of the Committee of Foreign Relations of the Armenian
parliament in an interview with Karabakh-open.com in Shushi. In answer
to the question why the bill was presented now, Armen Rustamyan said:
"In this respect, I think the party did not have sufficient reason for
this initiative. I think we do not have the answer to an important
question why we recognize so late. And if it is aimed to settle
internal problems, this bill is meaningless. Because if this is the
aim, it is better to propose a bill on unification. And if we want to
be helpful to the talks, we must agree with the other participants of
the talks. Therefore, we think the recognition must remain on the
agenda but it is necessary to choose the right time."
In answer to the question when the best time will be, the member of
parliament said: "I can't make forecasts regarding the time because it
would mean that the settlement of the Karabakh issue is close. Today,
unfortunately, I do not think so..."
