Armenian deputy: "Moscow, which had become "the godfather" of the Moscow declaration, will be resented over the recognition of Karabakh"

"By signing the Moscow declaration on Nagorno Karabakh, Armenia has lost the opportunity to recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh", said deputy of Armenian parliament from the Heritage opposition party Stepan Safaryan.

"The Moscow declaration states clearly that Armenia and Azerbaijan will hold bilateral direct talks for the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict, in the framework of the Minsk Group proposals. The unilateral recognition of independence of Karabakh will be a risky step, which would mean, first, that Armenia does not respect the documents, it undersigned, second that we renounce the previously welcomed peaceful process", explained Safaryan.

The deputy noted that Moscow, which is a "godfather" of the declaration, will be resented.

"Russia was not interested in the deterioration of another conflict, especially after the August war, which could have created additional problems for it, especially because its interference in the context of the Karabakh conflict was not substantiated in any document", noted he and stressed that Russia can view any violation of the Moscow declaration as actions against its interests.
