YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, NOYAN TAPAN. A statement was adopted at the
sixth interparty consultation of the Constitutional Law Union,
Democratic Party of Armenia, United Communist Party of Armenia,
Christian Democratic Party of Armenia, and the Constitutional Law
Union in connection with the independence of South Ossetia and
Abkhazia. With the statement the consultation participant parties
welcomed recognition of independence of Republics of South Ossetia
and Abkhazia by RF. It was mentioned that after the recognition of
independence of Kosovo by the West and of South Ossetia and Abkhazia
by RF an absolute supremacy of right of nations’ self-determination
to the provision of territorial integrity was established in the world.

The statement authors expressed the hope that within the framework
of the same principles RF in the nearest future will also recognize
as an independent state the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, which
reaffirmed its independence from Azerbaijan through a national
referendum in 1991 and in fact has retained it. "The delay of
recognition of NKR independence can result in resumption of new
operations with all unpredictable political, military, humanitarian,
and economic consequences proceeding from it," the statement of the
parties-participants of the interparty consultation read.
