The decision of The Hague International Court on Kosovo’s recognition can serve as a background for the Karabakh peace process, the leader of “European Integration” NGO Karen Bekaryan told the reporters on Tuesday.

According to him, Armenia as a negotiating party, with the President and Foreign Minister is somewhat constrained in the peace process. “In this regard, I do not  consider expedient expecting direct steps from Armenian Foreign Ministry or President’s Office, as this will be involved in the peace process,” Bekaryan said. He stressed the Armenian parliamentary diplomacy has an opportunity to make interesting moves.

“If we remember the tools of the parliamentary diplomacy, we will see each of them enables an opportunity to take certain steps,” Bekaryan said, indicating the standing committees on Foreign Affairs, European Integration, Armenian delegations in international organizations, inter-parliamentary commissions and friendship groups.

Today, the Armenian parliamentary opposition has an opportunity to hold consultations with friendly states to recognize independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, he said.

According to the expert, the mass media and non-governmental organizations, as well as the Armenian Diaspora should also be involved in the international recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenian Diaspora should not initiate the recognition process of Nagorno-Karabakh, but actively support the initiatives.
