Lernik Alexanyan: Hague court’s ruling will open eyes of AzerbaijanisJuly 28, 2010 - 14:19 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Member of Republican Party of Armenia parliamentary group Lernik Alexanyan said that the ruling of the International Court of Justice on Kosovo will definitely have a positive impact on the Karabakh conflict resolution. However, one should not expect it to have a considerable impact on the international recognition of NKR’s independence, Alexanyan told a press conference in Yerevan. According to Alexanyan, though the ruling has a consultative nature, it was made within juridical logics. “The ruling is a good basis to transfer the Karabakh problem from the political field into a legal one. At last, the ruling will open the eyes of Azerbaijanis to the fact that the Karabakh conflict may be resolved in the legal field,” noted Alexanyan. As for recognition of NKR's independence by Armenia, he said that Armenia should do it at a well-chosen moment. “Armenia should keep this step as a trump card in its relations with Azerbaijan to use it at the right moment,” said Alexanyan. According to him, Armenia can use this trump card in two cases: if Azerbaijan resumes hostilities or favorable conditions are established in international relations for recognition of NKR’s independence.
