    NKR OFFICIAL: ARMENIA SHOULDN'T BE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE KARABAKH INDEPENDENCE

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The head of the Central Information Department at
    NKR President's Office commented on a bill on "Recognition of Nagorno
    Karabakh Republic" put into circulation at Armenian parliament.

    "Armenia shouldn't be the first to recognize the independence of
    Nagorno Karabakh," David Babayan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    "Armenia will be accused of a non-constructive approach, were it
    to recognize Karabakh independence now. NKR independence should
    be recognized by other countries, for instance, Hungary which cut
    a criminal deal with Azerbaijan. Such a case could be viewed as
    atonement, rather than an unprecedented case" Babayan said.

    "Armenia should keep OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs aware of the
    developments, with all pros and cons to be considered before taking
    the step. Karabakh recognition project has been repeatedly included
    on Armenian parliament agenda to be further turned down. Another
    refusal would be unacceptable," Babayan said.

    As the official noted, Karabakh talks should be intensified with NKR
    to be involved in negotiations. "Diaspora potential should be used
    to achieve Azerbaijan's condemnation in international organizations,"
    the official said.

    On Tuesday, September 4 Heritage parliamentary group secretary Zaruhi
    Postanjyan put into circulation a bill on "Recognition of Nagorno
    Karabakh Republic" at the National Assembly.

    Earlier, Ramil Safarov, the Azerbaijani army officer who was serving
    a life sentence in Hungary for axing to death Armenian Lt. Gurgen
    Margaryan, was extradited to Azerbaijan and pardoned by Azerbaijani
    President Ilham Aliyev.

    Official Yerevan reacted by suspending diplomatic ties with Hungary.

    Hungary, however, states that it had sent Safarov back to Azerbaijan
    after receiving assurances from the Azerbaijani Justice Ministry that
    Safarov's sentence, which included the possibility of parole after
    25 years, would be enforced.
