“Armenia refrains from recognizing the independence of Nagorno Karabakh only out of respect for the position of the international community and the process of negotiations.
But Nagorno Karabakh’s independence does not and can not have alternative for us or any Armenia,” vice-speaker of Armenian parliament Samvel Nikoyan said in his interview to slon.ru website. According to him, if Armenia recognizes Nagorno Karabakh’s independence, there will be no need for OSCE Minsk Group.
“With this we can put an end to the negotiations carried out with the participation of the international community. But I reiterate that it has no alternative. If we see that there is no improvement in the settlement of the conflict and Nagorno Karabakh’s independence is in danger, then Armenia will recognize Nagorno Karabakh’s independence,” he said.
