Armenia should recognize independence of the unrecognized states, considering the principle of non-application of double standards in the issue of the people's right for self determination", said expert of Mitk analytical center Edward Abramyan.
"Armenia has already witnessed recognition of independence of two self-declared states, which have much in common with Nagorno Karabakh. Taking into account the fact that 15 year consultations between Azerbaijan and Armenia have led to nothing, official Yerevan should start process of recognition of the self-declared "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" within its current borders.
After recognition of "Nagorno Karabakh Republic", official Yerevan should start an active process for gaining recognition of the self-declared "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" by different countries of the world", noted Abramyan stressing confidence that the large Armenian diaspora abroad will assist Armenia in this issue.
He also noted that considering the Caucasus solidarity, traditional ally relations with Russia and principle of non-application of double standards in the issue of the nations' right for self-determination, Armenia should recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which will probably recognize the so-called "Nagorno Karabakh Republic", being already the recognized states.
He said in order to soften West's rage following Armenia's recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, official Yerevan may also recognize independence of Kosovo.
"Moreover, in order not to worsen the tense external political situation between Armenia and Turkey, Yerevan can also recognize independence of Northern Cyprus, which may become a serious factor for Ankara's neutralization in the conflict with Azerbaijan", said Abramyan.
