Yerevan – APA. Armenian government refused to support the bill on
the "Recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic" offered by the
opposition.

APA reports quoting Armenia Today that the decision was passed at
the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.

Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said the adoption
of the bill in this stage is inexpedient.

"Flourishing Armenia" party defended the position of the government.

Secretary of the party’s parliamentary faction Aram Safaryan said
the recognition of Nagorno Karabakh’s independence would be failure
of the process of negotiations.

The bill on the "Recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic"
was presented to the parliament by Heritage Party. The party had
taken similar initiatives earlier, but the ruling majority opposed
the initiative.
