At the moment, the recognition of Karabakh by Armenia is not expedient. Generally speaking it will produce no result, MP from Republican parliamentary group (RPA) Artak Zakaryan told the reporters on Tuesday.

“Our fellows from “Heritage” parliamentary faction consider the bill should be kept on the political agenda,” he said.

As for the possible signing of a “road map” on Nagorno-Karabakh at OSCE summit in Astana, the MP said: “Certainly, there are some factors affecting the peace process, but this does not mean they will directly influence Astana Summit. The mediators’ efforts are aimed at converging the conflicting parties, not applying force on them. At the moment, there are no prerequisites for road maps.

Asked whether Republican Party of Armenia is aware of the negotiation process and activities of its leaders, Zakaryan evaded a direct answer, saying: “The peace process is confidential. No prerequisites are available whether a road map, document or another project will be drafted.”
