Republican Party of Armenia says recognition of Artsakh's Independence by Hawaii State will have no serious impact on U.S. policy on Nagorno-Karabakh issue

 Republican Party of Armenia Vice Chairman Armen Ashotyan says recognition of Artsakh's Independence by Hawaii State will have no serious impact on the U.S. policy on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue at the moment.

"However, it is obvious that recognition of NKR by the American States upgrades the awareness of the political elite and public in U.S. of the Karabakh issue, which may create favorable environment for political decisions in the long-term outlook," Ashotyan said.

Hawaii became the seventh state to rally in support of the democratic development and right to self-determination for the people of Artsakh today, voting unanimously to recognize the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. Hawaii joined Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Louisiana, California and, most recently, Georgia in adopting legislation which supports the independence of Artsakh. 

David Babayan, Spokesperson for the NKR President, says the process of recognition of the NKR has intensified and appears to be irreversible
