Karabakh’s de jure recognition only a matter of time: Armenian MPSeptember 13, 2016 - 16:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - De jure recognition of Nagorno Karabakh’s independence is only a matter of time, deputy speaker of Armenia’s National Assembly Eduard Sharmazanov said Tuesday, September 13. Karabakh will never be part of Azerbaijan, he added. In response to a question about the territorial problems, Sharmazanov said that Karabakh’s status is the number one issue today. “Armenia will support the fair struggle of the people of Karabakh which began back in 1988,” Sharmazanov said. Weighing in on the agreements reached at summits in Vienna and Saint Petersburg, the deputy speaker said that Azerbaijan hinders their implementation. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Azeri leader Ilham Aliyev met on June 20 in Saint Petersburg to address the conflict, with Russian President Vladimir Putin mediating the talks. The Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents confirmed their commitment to the implementation of agreements reached at a Vienna-hosted meeting on May 16.

Prior to that, a meeting between both leaders was organized on May 16 in Vienna, with top diplomats from the MG co-chairing countries hosting the summit. According to him, the people of Karabakh must solve the issue and should be given a chance to realize their right to self-determination.
