STEPANAKERT. – Nagorno-Karabakh will achieve its international recognition independently of other unrecognized states, Karabakh Presdient Bako Sahakyan told at the interview with the Independent newspaper columnist Yuri Simonyan.

The president also said that despite the recognition of Abkhazia and Southern Ossetia by several states, Karabakh has been recognized by no state yet. Karabakh’s international recognition by the international society is one of the priorities of the state.

“In fact no legal bases hinder its recognition. Besides, our arguments are perfect,” president said. “Geopolitics is different sphere with its own interests to hold back our recognition. I believe that geopolitics and its interest will not cover the right and morality of Karabakh recognition.”
