The draft amendments to international agreements, providing for legal agreements between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh will affect the negotiation process even more than official recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), Head of “Heritage” parliamentary faction Stepan Safaryan stated.

According to him, three Armenian Presidents avoided the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh under various pretences. “I think the third President will also find the recognition of Karabakh beyond his strength,” Safaryan noted. According to the MP, the adoption of the draft resolution should be considered in the context of Armenian leadership’s commitments to the international community following the recent declaration on Nagorno-Karabakh approved at the OSCE Summit in Astana.

The parliamentarian criticized the documents, stressing the Armenian leaders should have not mentioned the 6 points in the L’Aquila agreement.

Armenian leader should seek distance from 6 elements of L’Aquila. According to him, there are unfavorable provisions for the Armenian sides, particularly on the return of refugees to Karabakh-controlled territories.
