International Community Preparing for Recognition of «Unrecognized»June 13, 2006 - 19:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "A new atmosphere, where the recognition of independence of unrecognized states becomes admissible, is being created via the statements of international experts," NKR President's Advisor for Foreign Affairs Arman Melikyan said. In his words, the international community is preparing for the recognition of the "unrecognized"."One should not think it refers to all the unrecognized existences in the post soviet space. Each phenomenon should be thoroughly examined. In case with Transdniestria I can say that some forces in the United States are interested in its recognition. I do not rule out that some agreements were achieved at the G8 level or between Russia and the U.S. Not always that analogs meet our interests. We should bear in mind that a difference can be decisive. That is why consistent work should be carried out for achieving our goals," he remarked. The NKR Presedent's Advisor also remarked that a state can be recognized by a single criterion - its capability. "We should first of all proceed from our own potential. Nagorno Karabakh has formed an independent state and is building a democratic and open society. We got through hardships and I affirm we are a formed independent state. Two states have formed on the territory of the Soviet Azerbaijan. One, the Azerbaijani Republic, enjoyed the support of the international community. The other, Nagorno Karabakh, had to overcome numerous obstacles. Meanwhile, it's quite obvious which state advanced in democracy building and any comparison between Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh is irrelevant. The society in Azerbaijan is completely suppressed by the ruling top and dissent, to put it mildly, is not welcomes there. The situation in Karabakh is quite different. We stand very good chances for positive development," Melikyan underscored. At that, he said, one should not attach epoch importance to such conclusions. "In reality, no one expect us can assess to what degree correct we build our internal state relations," Arman Melikyan concluded, reported De-Facto.
