NKR PRESIDENT: KOSOVO EXAMPLE ENCOURAGING

"Kosovo example encourages us," NKR President Arkady Ghouakssyan said making a report "Nagorny Karabakh: prospects of settlement" at the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University, Tuesday.

He said the international community applies dual standards when stating that Kosovo example cannot become a precedent for Karabakh. Russia disagrees with such opinions and has more logic and devoted position. "If there is a solution to an analogous conflict, no one will be able to avoid its affecting another one. It will have at least an indirect impact. So far, no one has found a logic explanation to why Kosovo model is not a precedent for other conflicts," Arkady Ghoukassyan said. He also added that from the historical point of view there is no issue which the international community relies on to differentiate the settlement of the two conflicts. "Nagorny Karabakh has much more arguments for recognition of its independence than Kosovo," NKR president said.
