Yerevan – APA. Armenian government refused to support the bill on the “Recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic” offered by the opposition.
APA reports quoting Armenia Today that the decision was passed at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said the adoption of the bill in this stage is inexpedient.
“Flourishing Armenia” party defended the position of the government.
Secretary of the party’s parliamentary faction Aram Safaryan said the recognition of Nagorno Karabakh’s independence would be failure of the process of negotiations.
The bill on the “Recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic” was presented to the parliament by Heritage Party. The party had taken similar initiatives earlier, but the ruling majority opposed the initiative.
