Will the National Assembly recognize the NKR?
Seven deputies from the 'Heritage" faction (Styopa Safaryan, Larisa Alaverdyan, Anahit Bakhshyan, Vardan Khachatryan, Armen Martirosyan, Zaruhi Postanjyan, Raffi Hovhannisyan) sent the bill of the RA on recognizing the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to NA Chairman Hovik Abrahamyan by established order of the National Assembly Charter.
According to Article 1 of the bill, "The Republic of Armenia recognizes the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic".
"If approved, the law will go into effect on the tenth day after the day of official release. Leader of the faction Styopa Safaryan hopes that the majority of deputies will be realistic and not only will they not take it out of the agenda, as was the case in April 2008 with the bill presented by Raffi Hovhanisyan on August 28, 2007, but will pass it by taking into account the current developments in the NKR and those waiting to happen. We would also be happy if our fellow deputies would sign under the bill as co-authors. By the established order, the chairman of the National Assembly must put the bill into circulation within the next two days," as stated in the statement of the party.
