YEREVAN (YERKIR) – “A new atmosphere, where the recognition of
independence of unrecognized states becomes admissible, is being
created via the statements of international experts,” NKR President’s
Advisor for Foreign Affairs Arman Melikyan said. In his words,
the international community is preparing for the recognition of the
“unrecognized”.
“One should not think it refers to all the unrecognized existences
in the post soviet space. Each phenomenon should be thoroughly
examined. In case with Transdniestria I can say that some forces in
the United States are interested in its recognition.
I do not rule out that some agreements were achieved at the G8
level or between Russia and the U.S. Not always that analogs meet
our interests. We should bear in mind that a difference can be
decisive. That is why consistent work should be carried out for
achieving our goals,” he remarked.
The NKR Presedent’s Advisor also remarked that a state can be
recognized by a single criterion – its capability. “We should first
of all proceed from our own potential. Nagorno Karabakh has formed
an independent state and is building a democratic and open society.
We got through hardships and I affirm we are a formed independent
state. Two states have formed on the territory of the Soviet
Azerbaijan. One, the Azerbaijani Republic, enjoyed the support of
the international community.
The other, Nagorno Karabakh, had to overcome numerous
obstacles. Meanwhile, it’s quite obvious which state advanced in
democracy building and any comparison between Azerbaijan and Nagorno
Karabakh is irrelevant. The society in Azerbaijan is completely
suppressed by the ruling top and dissent, to put it mildly, is not
welcomes there.
The situation in Karabakh is quite different. We stand very good
chances for positive development,” Melikyan underscored. At that, he
said, one should not attach epoch importance to such conclusions. “In
reality, no one expect us can assess to what degree correct we build
our internal state relations,” Arman Melikyan concluded, reported
