Transdnistria and Nagorno Karabakh Have Much in Common

PanARMENIAN.Net - Transdnistria and Nagorno Karabakh have much in common. These are two self-sufficient states with all inseparable attributes, Yuri Hayrapetian, the chairman of the committee on state and legal issues at the NKR National Assembly, told a news conference in Tiraspol. Yuri Hayrapetian and NKR government representative Garry Jahangirian arrived in Transdnistria to observe the presidential election due on December 10.



The NKR delegates are going to attend the polling stations and meet with the Armenian community of Transdnistria. "Both Transdnistria and Nagorno Karabakh are not perceived by the international community as full structures of international law. Both states formed and asserted their independence and survived bloody wars. Both are in blockade and experience economic and political hardships," Hayrapetian said. At that he remarked that unlike Transdnistria Nagorno Karabakh has a supporter - the Republic of Armenia, which defends its interests at international level and renders financial assistance having a common border with NKR.



"The other difference is complete absence of any interaction between Karabakh and Azerbaijan, the borders with which make the front line and actually we are still in state of war. Meanwhile Transdnistria and Moldova maintained some kind of dialogue. Nagorno Karabakh has repeatedly stated its readiness to hold talks, however the Azeri authorities are not aspired to dialogue but threaten with war. The negotiations proceed limply and we decided not to turn back to these activities and build our state in accordance with our interests," Yuri Hayrapetian said, reports New Region.
