Recognition of NKR independence is Armenia's ultimate goal
Prosperous Armenia party has its own position on the issue, according to which the NKR cannot be a part of Azerbaijan, a land link between Armenia and Karabakh must be ensured, and international guarantees of Nagorno karabakh people security must be given », Aram Safaryan , secretary of the Prosperous Armenia parliamentary fraction told today's press conference in Yerevan.
Talking about declassified Madrid principles, he stressed that the party positively estimates activities of the OSCE Minsk Group, and noted that only the principles agreed between the parties are only disclosed only, but there are other, yet inconsistent principles, which are important for the Armenian diplomacy.
According to Aram Safaryan, the declassified document contains an important principle of self-determination of Karabakh's people, which allows Armenia to negotiate further. The MP noted that the ultimate aim of Armenia is the recognition of independence of Nagorno Karabakh in exchange for "something", and in this case, Armenia can make some concessions.
He also mentioned that Armenia will not sign any document at the expense of the independence of Karabakh.
On the question of journalists on the inclusion of Karabakh in the negotiation process, he replied that NKR will participate in talks at the stage where, without their participation negotiations would be impossible to carry out.
