/PanARMENIAN.Net/ No state will dare to recognize NKR’s independence
unless Armenia does it, Arsen Melik-Shahnazarov, advisor to NKR
Foreign Minister, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
However, the issue should be weighed up and timely, according to him.
"Official recognition of NKR will put an end to defective concept
brought forth by the Armenian National Movement. The fact is that the
administrative borders of Nagorno Karabakh are not those of former
NKAO," he said, adding, "Armenia can issue an official statement on
recognition of de-facto NKR and conclude a number of agreements, like
the United States did in 1972 as regards unrecognized Taiwan. The
Republic of Armenia and NKR are represented by ‘one nation and two
states’. The phrase Aliyev senior used to repeat when speaking about
Azerbaijan and Turkey."
