Yerevan, 1 September: Armenian Foreign Ministry press secretary
Vladimir Karapetyan has said that "the time has not yet come for
Armenia to recognize Nagornyy Karabakh".

Karapetyan made the comment in connection with the draft law
recognizing the Nagornyy Karabakh republic, submitted to parliament by
the Heritage Party this week.

"The recognition of Nagornyy Karabakh has always been considered by
Armenia’s foreign policy. It should be done at a time that could be
more effective and contribute to the final settlement of the issue.
That time has not come yet," he said.
