Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh can cope with all the difficulties by combined effort, Foreign Minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Karen Mirzoyan told Tert.am.
As to a possibility of Armenia recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh’s independence, he said:
“I would not say Armenia could be the only state to recognize Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh]. It is now time for international recognition of Artsakh. Not only Armenia, but the international community must recognize Artsakh. It will be the best security guarantee for Artsakh.”
As to Azerbaijan’s threats to unleash war if Armenia recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh, Mr Mirzoyan said:
“Azerbaijan’s leadership is issuing numerous threats in any case. We must curb its ambitions by all possible means.”
