"Armenia does not need Nagorno Karabakh’s recognition right now",
Armenian premier Serzh Sarkisyan said, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.

He added the government thinks the same: "Nagorno Karabakh’s
recognition does not seem expedient for Armenia at present and I
share this position as well. We can take such a step tomorrow or 10
days later, maybe there will be no need to do it at all. Talks over
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict continue. Recognition of
Nagorno Karabakh would be a very radical step, it is even hard to
think of its consequences. I have no idea what could force us into
taking such a step".
