/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The situation in Nagorno Karabakh resembles the
situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Director of the Institute
of Asian and African Studies at the Moscow State University Mikhail
Meyer said. “I believe the Kosovo settlement model can be applied
in the South Caucasian region. The West will try to divide these
notions. In one case, it’s Kosovo that doesn’t enjoy support of
any great power, in the other case, it’s the territories supported
by Russia,” he noted. In his words, the Kosovo settlement model is
equal for the resolution of the conflicts available in the post soviet
space. “It is clear the West will not wish to use Kosovo independence
as precedent but Russia will try to use it,” Mikhail Meyer said.
