With 88 votes in favor, the Armenian parliament has passed a bill on introduction of amendments to the law on international agreements.

The bill allows to conclude agreements with unrecognized states, PanARMENIAN.Net’s parliamentary correspondent reported.

Addressing the MPs prior to the voting, Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said that the amendments “are meant to guarantee human rights in Artsakh” and said Armenia will do its utmost for international recognition of NKR.

Meanwhile, chairman of Heritage parliamentary group Stepan Safaryan labeled the bill as “not complying with the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties” and said that the party will not take part in the voting.
