MP: Latin American countries may recognize NKRSeptember 10, 2011 - 13:21 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian lobby should work towards supporting Latin American countries in their willingness to recognize the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, according to the head of Heritage opposition party parliamentary group. At news conference in Yerevan, Stepan Safaryan commented on recent statement by the Foreign Minister of Uruguay who said that his government has begun the process to make an official announcement regarding the status of Nagorno Karabakh. “I am personally convinced that Nagorno Karabakh is part of historic Armenia and it must be independent and in a short while be unified with Armenia. This is the only resolution to the Artsakh issue,” Luis Almagro said. “Having no geopolitical interests in the region, Latin American countries are quite capable of NKR recognition. The issue was discussed back in 1990s, with Raffi Hovannisian as Armenian Foreign Minister,” Safaryan said. The MP characterized legalizing decolonization among the hardest issues for Armenian lobby to resolve. Safaryan slammed the Armenian authorities’ refusal to be the first in recognizing Artsakh, also expressing doubts about their intensification of Karabakh recognition policy.
