Karen Bekaryan: NKR MFA should take steps towards recognition of Artsakh |
“After the ruling of the Hague Court, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nagorno Karabakh had to take steps towards recognition of Artsakh’s independence, involving civil society representatives in the process. The Parliaments of Armenia and Artsakh also have to do something,” analyst Karen Bekaryan told a press conference today.
The decision of the International Court of Justice is not legally binding, but it creates a certain political background. It will have an active and positive influence on the negotiation process on the Karabakh conflict settlement, Karen Bekaryan is assured. According to him, Azerbaijan is also aware of this influence.
“We should not rush to the Hague Court inspired by its ruling on Kosovo,” Karen Bekaryan said, adding that “it will harm the negotiation process under way within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group. He does believe, however, that certain steps need to be taken.
“First of all, it’s Artsakh that should take steps. It’s necessary to start the process of recognition of Artsakh through executive, legislative and civil society circles, establish parliamentary contacts, create parliamentary friendship groups, interparliamentary commissions, etc,” Karen Bekaryan said.
“Let’s view the negotiations and recognition as separate processes. Not being a party to the talks, Artsakh is not constrained and is free to act,” he added. |
