Two reasons why rally in Karabakh over Hague court ruling did not take place

There were two reasons why the expected rally in the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, did not take place on July 22 when the International Court of Justice ruled that the declaration of Kosovo's independence was in line with the international law, of sociologist Aharon Adibekyan told a press conference today.

The first reason according to him was that most of the Artsakh people did not know about that ruling.

But the main reason the announced rally was annulled, in his word, is that the Karabakhi authorities did not want to one more time stir up false hopes among the Karabakhi people that it will be possible to reach recognition also for Karabakh based on Kosovo's precedent.

"This is a psychological state," explained Adibekyan.
