Spokesman for the Republican Party of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov said that independence of the Republic of Artsakh has no alternative, while the Armenian authorities will continue exerting efforts for the international recognition of Karabakh.

During the OSCE summit in Astana, it has been fixed once again that all principles for the Karabakh conflict settlement should be viewed as a single whole, Sharmazanov said in the Armenian parliament.

“This has both eliminated the generalized provisions of the Lisbon declaration, as well as confirmed the approach of the OSCE Minsk Group’s Co-Chair countries, which does not stem from Azerbaijan’s interests,” concluded Sharmazanov.
