ArmInfo.The 5165 Movement has demanded that Armenia's Parliament initiate a process of recognition of the Republic of Artsakh and start work aimed at international recognition of the country.
The movement leader Karin Tonoyan said that no attempts should be made to persuade people that recognition of Artsakh will cause a war.
"This issue must be on the agenda of all political forces. Recognition will save Artsakh and our dignity. I want to tell our MPs that Armenia de facto recognized Artsakh long ago as a number of international agreements have been signed. But since we are sure that Nikol Pashinyan has never defended our national interests, we are applying to Parliament and demanding Artsakh's recognition.
"On September 27 we did not recognize Artsakh. And war broke out. So let no one try to deceive us into not recognizing Artsakh," she said.
