Armenia is not facing the task of Nagorno-Karabakh’s recognition, says
member of Republican Party Armen Ashotyan.

He says that, if a state is recognized de facto, it will sooner or
later be recognized de jure. Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh are linked
by numerous agreements. In fact, many countries, particularly, the US,
Russia, France and Azerbaijan, have de facto recognized
Nagorno-Karabakh. The mediation of the US, France and Russia in the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process proves that those countries have
recognized Nagorno-Karabakh de facto. Armenia can easily recognize NK
but this is not politically expedient yet, says Ashotyan.
