The Republican Party of Armenia, Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) and Country of Law Party are sure that the international recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) has no alternative. The full realization of the right of self-determination of the Artsakh people is the Armenians’ dream and goal.

Defending the efforts and initiatives made directed to the international recognition of NKR, we are sure that the step taken to the one-sided recognition of NKR by the Republic of Armenia this moment does not stem from the constructive position adopted by the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, which supports the parliamentary coalition.

During the past 18 years the Republic of Armenia has permanently shown concerned approach to the negotiation process, being sure that the peaceful and fair settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh is only possible in the conditions of kind and consecutive implementation of the OSCE basic principles.

At the same time we are sure that the right of the self-determination of the Artsakh people and having their own state is the highest value, for which the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia is constantly ready to take more decisive steps, if the negotiation process fails endangering the basic rights and security of the Artsakh people.

In case of the failure of the ongoing negotiation process we, ourselves, will initiate the step of the recognition of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh and we will support the initiative of any other political force being concerned about it.

At this moment the ruling political coalition states that it will not take part in the voting of the draft law regarding the recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
