Armenian Foreign Minister threatens that Armenia may recognize "NKR"

Yet, if Azerbaijan continues demonstrating destructive position in the international instances, Armenia will recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh. Our main task is to attain the international recognition of "Nagorno Karabakh Republic", said deputy Foreign Minister Sh.Kocharyan.

He made the due statement during the parliamentary hearings in the National Assembly of "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" on "The situation in the South Caucasus: prospects of international recognition of "Nagorno Karabakh Republic". At the same time, the newly appointed deputy minister noted that this is his personal opinion and he does not intend to present the position of the Armenian Foreign Ministry.

"Azerbaijan strives to present Armenia as an aggressor. Meanwhile, nothing is spoken of the "Nagorno Karabakh" lands, occupied by Azerbaijan", noted Kocharyan. He said the so-called "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" is a state which has no precedent in the world for its comprehensive perfection.

He noted that in order to attain world recognition, Nagorno Karabakh needs to introduce its positions to all necessary instances.

According to Kocharyan, Russia will not recognize Nagorno Karabakh in a fear to lose Azerbaijan.

Commenting on the statements that during the meeting with president of Turkey, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan expressed readiness to surrender the lands, occupied during the war, imposed by Azerbaijan, Kocharyan noted that this is "the next provocation of Azerbaijan as no such information was contained in any Turkish media".
