The Armenian Revolutionary Federation, an opposition party also known
as Dashnaktsutyun, has introduced a draft law for Armenia to form a
military alliance with the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic,
a disputed Armenian-speaking enclave in neighboring Azerbaijan.
The bill, introduced by Dashnaksutyun's group in parliament, "does
not contain any disputable legal terms" and the proposed law "would
guarantee security for Nagorno-Karabakh, including in the event of
military aggression," and might help the enclave achieve international
recognition, group chairman Vahan Hovhannisyan said at a briefing
on Friday.
The legislature also has on its agenda a draft law to recognize
Nagorno-Karabakh's independence introduced by another opposition
party, Heritage.
On Thursday, the ruling coalition said it would boycott the vote on
the bill, arguing that as Armenia's unilateral recognition of the
region's independence might hinder talks on the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The vote was put off until December 9.
