NO OTHER OPTION BUT INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION OF NAGORNO-KARABAKH. NKR PRIME MINISTER

YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, ARMENPRESS: There is no other option but
international recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Yet there is
a long way for reaching it. Armenpress reports this was declared by
Prime Minister of NKR Arayik Harutyunyan in the interview posted in
official Facebook page of "Azat Hayrenik" party.
NKR Prime assured that strengthening and active cooperation of trinity,
thus Armenia, Artsakh and Diaspora, is of crucial importance.
"We should have economically powerful, secure country which would
be the most vivid evidence to prove the world our right to announce
Artsakh independent and our acknowledgement of that responsibility,"
Harutyunyan has noted, adding it is logically assumed that Armenia
must do its first step, recognizing NKR independence.
"It is logically assumed; therefore it is a rather delicate political
issue which requires a full and comprehensive observation and
predictions of possible consequences. I am sure that choosing right
political moment, Armenia will recognize NKR independence. Armenian
recognition of NKR independence is not obligated therefore, it will
be evaluated," he said.
NKR Prime highlighted numerous links between Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh, including mutual visits on state level as well as
interparliamentary and governmental events, which means that Armenia
has de facto recognized independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
In its turn "Freedom House" human rights organization has included
Karabakh Republic in the list of partly free countries.
According to Arayik Harutyunyan that fact would hardly have any
influence on negotiation process first of all because the same
organization included Karabakh in the list of not free countries in
its penultimate report.
"By the way, neighboring Azerbaijan was once again included
in the list of not free countries. So I believe evaluations of
non-governmental organizations are not essential for country's
political orientations. Concerning evaluations of "Freedom House"
over NKR, I consider them to be wrong as Nagorno-Karabakh is a free
country," Prime said.
