On April 10 the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia undertook
to discuss the draft statement of the NA on the Karabakh conflict
resolution.
The National Assembly suggests the President and the Government to
intensify the efforts and opportunities of working out and implementing
the arrangements directed at providing complete information to
the international community regarding the Nagorno Karabakh issue,
to give more initiative nature to the policy directed towards the
resolution of the Karabakh conflict, formulate the legal bases within
the framework of international law that will enable Armenia to ensure
the full security and defense of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in
case of Azerbaijan’s military aggression.
The author of the draft, NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan noted that
the process of resolution of the issue does not inspire optimism:
the militant statements of Azerbaijan and the propaganda of hatred
towards Armenians are deepening more and more, and it does not receive
an equivalent reaction in international structures. According to him,
primarily due to the flow of oil revenues a false illusion is created
in Azerbaijan that it is possible to solve the issue via war, thus
misleading their own people.
Tigran Torosyan noted that it is necessary to make efforts for the
internationally recognized Nagorno Karabakh Republic to get involved
in the negotiations as a party to the conflict. According to him,
although Armenia can recognize NKR at any moment, it will be much more
effective if the efforts are focused on the international recognition
of Nagorno Karabakh.
Tigran Torosyan informed that the National Assembly of Karabakh is
informed about the initiative, and the question will be thoroughly
discussed during the sitting of the interparliamentary cooperation
commission of the two countries to be held in Stepanakert next week.
