According to new amendments, Armenia will be able to sign agreements with unrecognized â€œrepublicsâ€.

Armenian parliament adopted draft amendment on international agreements on December 17, during the last reading. These amendments consider securing peace with subjects unrecognized by the international law, regulation of human rights protection, humanitarian, economic and financial aid.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan noted that according to the draft law, subjects unrecognized by the international law may take the floor as a supporter of international agreement. So, Armenia is intending to ratify agreements and contracts with separatist â€œNagorno Karabakh Republicâ€. Kocharyan said that Armenia acts as guarantee of security of â€œNKRâ€ and proves it to continue the signing process of bilateral agreements: â€œRecognition of Karabakhâ€™s independence is on the agenda and it will be realized in more appropriate time, when it will be possible to achieve maximum effectâ€.
