Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamian has confirmed that a bill obliging Armenia to recognize Nagorno-Karabakh's independence will be put to a vote in parliament this week unless its opposition proponents agree to postpone it before that.
If held, the vote will come amid a fresh round of talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan around the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement scheduled for October 27.
At a press briefing on Tuesday Abrahamian reiterated the position of Armenia's political majority that such a move was premature while the search for peace in Karabakh continued through negotiations.
Armenia has not formally recognized Azerbaijan's breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region as an independent state as its leadership has cited, as the main reason, the ongoing internationally mediated talks with Azerbaijan and said that such a move is potentially harmful to the negotiations.
