Independent states recognition process doomed to objective development

PanARMENIAN.Net - The problem of "recognition of the unrecognized" states, which are an integral part of the contemporary international realities, is not a new one, said NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian.



"It is still difficult to speak about a common process, especially the one, which has reached its final stage, with the inevitable recognition following it. After all, it is not a matter of just a "one-time" political act of recognition of a state but about granting a start in life to a state, which along with the rights gets concrete obligations before the international community. The point is that promotion of that agenda concentrates attention on the principal issue - the criteria of the international legal recognition. Even given the exclusiveness of each of the mentioned cases, all of them have a number of identical parameters, so the settlement of any of them according to the scenario you've mentioned, would have certain political and legal consequences for the others. According to the philosophy of the contemporary international relations, the determining criterion is rather viability, the ability of these states to ensure security and protect the rights of their citizens than just some political conjuncture around them," he said.



He noted that any long-term settlement of such conflicts is impossible without taking into account existing political realities around one or another conflict. "Despite complicated and heterogeneous conflict settlement approaches in the modern world politics, it should be noted that the process of recognition of independent states is predetermined to objective development," he said.   



"The definite exclusivity of the Karabakh problem bases on the fact that NKR's right to international political recognition equally originates both from the viability of Nagorno Karabakh statehood and the irreproachable political and legal fundamentals of its proclamation and subsequent development. As for the future negotiation process, then the OSCE MG Co-chairmanship format is an obvious example of close partnership directed to the peaceful settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakhi conflict. The guaranty of establishing peace and the regional security system on the whole lies namely in this format," the Minister resumed, NKR-based Demo newspaper reports.
