Recognition of Nagorno Karabakh independence by Armenia should pursue two important goals: the first goal is to bring Nagorno-Karabakh back to the negotiating table and the second one is to reach its international recognition, Vahan Hovhannisyan, head of the ARF parliamentary faction told a press conference in Yerevan today.
According to Mr. Hovhannisyan, if the above-mentioned objectives are not achieved, then the mere recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia will do nothing. The policies led by Armenia’s leadership do not allow Nagorno Karabakh to return to the negotiating table, even in the case of its recognition by Armenia.
According to Vahan Hovhannisyan, “in case of military aggression Armenia first should defeat the enemy on the battlefield, and then think about recognition”.
