Haykakan Zhamanak: Armenia must recognize NKR’s independence if border checkpoint is established
Haykakan Zhamanak has learnt that during the negotiations on Armenia’s accession to the Eurasian Economic Union Kazakhstan really demanded that a checkpoint should be set up at the Armenia-Karabakh border.
In response to this, the Armenian negotiators said this may be a subject of discussion, but first of all, it is necessary that Armenia should de jure recognize Karabakh’s independence, the newspaper says.
A representative of the Armenian government told the newspaper that if such a condition is put forward, it will be a legitimate occasion for Armenia to recognize Karabakh’s independence.
