Heritage Calls on Authorities to Recognize Independence of Karabakh Ahead of Parliamentary Elections

Heritage Party and its parliamentary faction demand the Armenian authorities to recognize the de jure independence of the Artsakh Republic and to take the first step for that purpose, i.e. not to delay any more and vote in favor of a bill over the recognition of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh proposed by Heritage.

On May 18 member of the Heritage Party Zaruhi Postanjyan presented to the parliament some other demands of Heritage such as taking further steps for the international recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh, to inhabit the thinly-populated regions adjacent to Karabakh, etc.

Recalling the on May 19 the Nagorno Karabakh will hold its next parliamentary elections – by which the Karabakhi Armenians will demonstrate to the world that there is a second Armenian state on Earth – Postanjyan reminded the Armenian authorities that Armenia has not yet officially recognized the independence of Nagorno Karabakh.

“I am reminding those [political] figures who frequently make statements about territorial concessions that there are the Constitutions of the Republic of Armenia and Artsakh according to which it is only the citizens [of these two states] that can make decisions about changes in the borders not the officials who are in charge of temporary and unlawfully obtained positions,” said Postanjyan.
