"By signing the Moscow declaration on Nagorno Karabakh, Armenia has
lost the opportunity to recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh",
said deputy of Armenian parliament from the Heritage opposition party
Stepan Safaryan.
"The Moscow declaration states clearly that Armenia and Azerbaijan
will hold bilateral direct talks for the peaceful resolution of the
Karabakh conflict, in the framework of the Minsk Group proposals. The
unilateral recognition of independence of Karabakh will be a risky
step, which would mean, first, that Armenia does not respect the
documents, it undersigned, second that we renounce the previously
welcomed peaceful process", explained Safaryan.
The deputy noted that Moscow, which is a "godfather" of the
declaration, will be resented.
"Russia was not interested in the deterioration of another conflict,
especially after the August war, which could have created additional
problems for it, especially because its interference in the context
of the Karabakh conflict was not substantiated in any document",
noted he and stressed that Russia can view any violation of the Moscow
declaration as actions against its interests.
