/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia hasn’t recognized independence of Nagorno
Karabakh yet, the RA Foreign Minister said.

"Some say we have lost the opportunity after proclamation of Kosovo’s
independence. Nevertheless, we think that the ongoing talks will lead
to a compromise decision on Karabakh. The key issue is the status
of Nagorno Karabakh and recognition of Karabakh people’s right to
self-determination. With political will, a solution can be found,"
Edward Nalbandian told BBC.

"We stand for dialogue. Political and diplomatic negotiations are the
only way to resolve the conflict and should be continued anyway. Use
of force is inadmissible," the Minister said.
