MFA: Armenia expects effective Karabakh talks

Armenia isn’t still pushing on to recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh as it hopes the peace talks on settlement to the Karabakh conflict will be effective.

“While the process is underway, and while there is a hope that it will be possible to settle the conflict by peaceful meanings, we don’t consider any other steps. We didn’t recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh up to now, and for example, we can’t recognize Kosovo without recognition of Nagorno Karabakh while Kosovo has right to be independent but its right isn’t more than right of Nagorno Karabakh or of other nations which are recognized less or more by certain countries but aren’t recognized by the international community,” said Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in his interview with Ukrainian Today edition.

“If the talks don’t bring results, and if the daily threats of Azerbaijan lead to no-go, then surely, it will be necessary to take other steps,” said Minister Nalbandian.
