/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recently, the issue of recognizing the independence
of Nagorno Karabakh by Armenia has become topical in Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh, Anahit Bakhshyan , MP from the Heritage faction
told a news conference in Yerevan today. She informed that the party
a week ago again invited the Armenian MPs to read the bill on the
recognition of Artsakh’s independence.

According to the deputy, the various political circles in Armenia
and the NKR leadership indirectly talked about the need to recognize
Artsakh particularly in the light of Armenian-Turkish relations.

"Armenia must necessarily recognize the independence of Nagorno
Karabakh to have the right to demand the same from other countries,"
she said.

Anahit Bakhshyan stressed that by that recognition Armenia will help
to involve NKR in the negotiation process as a full participant. She
also added that after the recognition of Artsakh’s independence,
attitudes of international organizations must be changed, since it
will be a recognized state.

Answering the questions, in which boundaries should Nagorno-Karabakh
be recognized, the deputy particularly said, that Heritage party
takes as granted the 142th article of the Constitution of NKR,
which stipulates that " all the liberated territories are part of
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic".

"Despite the fact that the two ruling parties – the Republican Party of
Armenia and the Prosperous Armenia have already opposed this idea,
we will insist that the bill will enter the major agenda of the
parliament at least this time," Ms.Bakhshyan stressed.
