Armenia has every chance to achieve NKR’s international recognition – expert October 14, 2011 - 15:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia has every chance of achieving international recognition of Nagorno Karabakh Republic, according to a political analyst. “Were Armenia and Artsakh to initiate the process, they would certainly succeed more than Russia did with Abkhazia and South Ossetia recognition,” Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan told a news conference in Yerevan. “Should the process start, approx. 30 countries might recognize the Artsakh Republic, realizing the time’s come to specify its status,” the expert noted. “Armenia is capable of achieving that in shortest time limits.” As the expert noted, after Uruguayan Foreign Minister’s statement suggesting the country’s ready to recognize NKR, Azerbaijan attempted to bribe Uruguay’s officials to prevent recognition. Earlier, the Foreign Minister of Uruguay said that his government has begun the process to make an official announcement regarding the status of Nagorno Karabakh. “I am personally convinced that Nagorno Karabakh is part of historic Armenia and it must be independent and in a short while be unified with Armenia. This is the only resolution to the Artsakh issue,” Luis Almagro stated.
