“It is already that various structures have recognized the fact that without a direct participation of the NKR even finding ways to solve the conflict is problematic,” NKR FM Arman Melikyan stated at a meeting with local and accredited journalists in Stepanakert. The Minister said he is sure that “Nagorno Karabakh will be internationally recognized – at that in the future that is not so far.” In his opinion, much time is necessary for comprehensive settlement of the problem. “The legislative activities are one of most important components from the point of view of international recognition. We have done much in this respect: the other day the Parliament passed a number of major acts referring to foreign policy, including the NKR law on international agreements. Our legislation has certain shortcomings in this respect, these should be eliminated, then we will be able to join international conventions. I am sure that before the end of the year we will realize what we have planned,» A. Melikyan said. When commenting on the scientific conference with participation of representatives of unrecognized republics, A. Melikyan called it a good opportunity for presenting the NK issue from a serious rostrum and to get acquainted with others’ problems. «I would like for similar conferences to be organized in Strasbourg, New York and other centers of international significance,» the NKR FM remarked, reported IA Regnum.
