INDEPENDENCE WILL BE RECOGNIZED OR AGREEMENT WILL BE SIGNED
The Armenian President Robert Kocharyan said during the meeting with the NKR government that he met with the NKR foreign minister and assured him that soon the settlement of the conflict will be discussed in Armenia. He also stated that a visit of Armenian parliamentarians to Karabakh is foreseen, who will come up with new proposals. The president of Armenia stated that the recent developments concerning the Karabakh conflict and the region in general make Armenia review their approaches toward the security and status of Karabakh, Karabakh-Open.com reports. Answering the question after the meeting in which case Armenia will recognize the NKR independence, Robert Kocharyan said: “There are two ways, to recognize immediately or maybe replace the final recognition by an agreement between Armenia and NKR on defense, mutual support regarding people and imperative involvement in case of aggression. I think such an agreement would prevent militaristic statements,” he added. In answer to the question of Karabakh-Open.com in which conditions Armenia would take that step, the president of Armenia said: “Since we are speaking about future steps, I think it is up to the next president and government. Certainly, I do not rule out and I even think that some steps should already be taken now.” Assessing the talks for Karabakh over ten years of his office, Robert Kocharyan said the process “is not passed on in a bad situation. When I was elected president, Karabakh was viewed as part of Azerbaijan, over these years Karabakh has never been viewed as part of Azerbaijan,” Kocharyan said, adding that the document today does not suppose anything like this, the content recognizes the right for self-determination.
