Head of RPA Faction: Recognition of Karabakh's independence by Massachusetts House of Representatives to be followed by similar decisions of other states

The recognition of Karabakh's independence by the Massachusetts House of Representatives will be followed by similar decisions of other states, Galust Sahakyan, Head of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia Faction, told ArmInfo.   

He said that the Armenian diplomacy's efforts are aimed at making the international community recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, and such decisions of the U.S. states certainly make their essential contribution to the recognition process. "The more states, cities and countries recognize the NKR, the better. Everyone should know the truth, and the truth is that the people of Nagorno-Karabakh have an
undisputable right to build an independent, sovereign and strong state", Sahakyan said.

To recall, on August 6 the House of Representatives of the State of Massachussetts, USA, adopted a resolution on recognition of Karabakh's independence. The document calls on the U.S. President Barack Obama and the Congress to support the sovereignty and independence of the NKR.

Trump says Ukraine should give up land for peace as preparations start for US-Russia summit

U.S. President  Donald Trump said that the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine should be “cut up,” leaving most of it in Russian hands, to end a  war that has dragged on for nearly four years. Trump has edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia, in exchange for an end to the war. Following a phone call last week, the Russian and US leaders Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump announced they would meet in Budapest for talks on resolving the war in Ukraine, triggered by Moscow's all-out offensive in February 2022. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US counterpart Marco Rubio spoke on Monday 20 October to discuss preparations for the summit, and are expected to meet in person to finalise details. However, the Kremlin stated on Tuesday 21 October that there was "no precise time frame" for the summit even though Trump stated that the meeting with Putin could take place within two weeks.
