ARFD suggests Armenia enter into strategic union with NKR![]() October 26, 2010 - 19:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage-initiated bill on recognition of NKR independence should not be discussed in Armenian parliament, to prevent the issue from being speculated on, according to the representative of ARF Dashnaktsutyun supreme body Armen Rustamyan. “Heritage is aware that the majority will vote against the bill, while international community would see Armenia as a country refusing to acknowledge the independence of Karabakh.” “Armenia should cause the international community acknowledge our country only as a guarantor of NKR security. We suggest for Armenia to enter into strategic union with NKR,” Rustamyan stated. In this context, Rustamyan emphasized the importance of government-initiated draft law envisaging a possibility for Armenia to conclude contracts with unrecognized states. As he noted, the bill received a positive confirmation from the profile committee of the Armenian National Assembly (RA NA). The bill will soon be submitted for inclusion to RA NA four-day discussion agenda. ![]() ![]() Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult.
