YEREVAN.- A resolution recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s (NKR) independence was a warning to Azerbaijan,  former Karabakh Foreign Minister Arman Melikyan told reporters on Saturday.

He pointed out good ties between Karabakh and Australia, recalling activities of NKR representative in Australia.

Melikyan did not rule out possibility of establishing relations in the fields of economy and culture between New South Wales state and Karabakh.

“The faster Karabakh comes out of blockade and gets an opportunity to establish ties with other states, the faster international recognition problem will be solved,” Melikyan added.   

Australia’s New South Wales Parliament adopted a resolution recognising the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and the right to self-determination of its Armenian people.
