/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Transdnistria and Nagorno Karabakh have much in
common. These are two self-sufficient states with all inseparable
attributes, Yuri Hayrapetian, the chairman of the committee on state
and legal issues at the NKR National Assembly, told a news conference
in Tiraspol. Yuri Hayrapetian and NKR government representative Garry
Jahangirian arrived in Transdnistria to observe the presidential
election due on December 10.
The NKR delegates are going to attend the polling stations and meet
with the Armenian community of Transdnistria. "Both Transdnistria and
Nagorno Karabakh are not perceived by the international community as
full structures of international law.
Both states formed and asserted their independence and survived
bloody wars. Both are in blockade and experience economic and
political hardships," Hayrapetian said. At that he remarked that
unlike Transdnistria Nagorno Karabakh has a supporter – the Republic
of Armenia, which defends its interests at international level and
renders financial assistance having a common border with NKR.
"The other difference is complete absence of any interaction between
Karabakh and Azerbaijan, the borders with which make the front line
and actually we are still in state of war. Meanwhile Transdnistria
and Moldova maintained some kind of dialogue. Nagorno Karabakh has
repeatedly stated its readiness to hold talks, however the Azeri
authorities are not aspired to dialogue but threaten with war. The
negotiations proceed limply and we decided not to turn back to these
activities and build our state in accordance with our interests,"
Yuri Hayrapetian said, reports New Region.
