/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Heritage party’s initiative on NKR recognition by
Armenia is nothing but a populist move, Armenian political scientist
Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a news conference in Yerevan.
"The party leader, Raffi Hovannisian did not make statements of the
kind at the post of Foreign Minister in 1991. Armenia’s recognition
Nagorno Karabakh’s independence will allow Azerbaijan to brand Armenia
as aggressor," he said.
Armenia and Karabakh should jointly work for recognition of NKR by
third states, according to him.
As to the terms of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Mr
Melik-Shahnazaryan said, "In 10-15 years Europe will lose interest
in Azerbaijan as a supplier of energy sources and then strong Armenia
can make the international community reckon with it," he underscored.
On 28 August Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian introduced in
the Armenian National Assembly a draft bill "On recognition of the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic."
