Political scientist Karen Kocharian in response to a question of “First news and Analyses” about what might have cause the recognition of the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh by Uruguay, he said. “TheexampleofUruguay can be continuous.”
“On the one hand, it will be very good and commendable, if Uruguay recognized the NKR independence, but on the other hand, I think the time is not appropriate, I mean the events taking place in Syria and Iran.I think it could be perceived as a provocation.
In this case, this will simply be treated as a beginning of a process, just as recognition of some state’s independence.
Uruguay was the first country to recognize the Armenian genocide, and later many other states followed its example. So it will be also in the case. I think this is the beginning of a process that can be continued in the future. ”
Recall that Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Uruguay Jorge Orriko, visiting Stepanakert, announced that Uruguay, being the first country to recognize the Armenian genocide, may also be the first to recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
