Deadline expires December 9
Leader of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian is hopeful that the parliamentary majority will mature by December 9 and vote for the bill recognizing independence of the Republic of Artsakh.
"The bill dstems from the interests of Armenia and not Heritage," said Mr. Hovannisian.
Mr. Hovannisian thinks that by adopting the bill Armenia will give an adequate answer to Azerbaijan's groundless statements voiced from different international rostrums.
The Heritage leader hailed the humanitarian declaration signed between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Raffi Hovannisian expects no crucial breakthroughs in Karabakh peace process before the OSCE Summit in Astana and considers the allegations about the agreement over unsettled principles as dangerous.
"If the agreement is based on the results of Madrid and Prague meetings, a need for power change will rise in Armenia," Mr. Hovannisian.
The Heritage leader reiterated that all political forces want Armenia to recognize NKR independence but some think the time has not matured. Mr. Hovannisian does not support the opinion as "the recognition of NKR independence is Armenia's legal assessment given to Artsakh."
