Recently, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed a resolution, which recognized Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent and sovereign state. The resolution also calls on the international community to properly recognize the “Artsakh Republic as is a free, independent and sovereign state.” As to what this will mean for us, in the conversation with Aravot.am, commented the expert of “The Center for International Studies”, Ruben Mehrabyan. “This is certainly to be welcomed, anyway, I do not think that it will have any impact on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, like the decisions adopted so far by provincial congresses or other municipal councils did not have any impact” says Ruben Mehrabyan convincingly, according to whom, the Nagorno-Karabakh’s future is determined by other negotiations within the Minsk group, and the negotiating parties are the Republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
