YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Unrecognized republics, which were formed in
the territory of the former Soviet Union, will follow the path of
Montenegro, Russian State Duma Vice-Speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky said.

“Abkhazia, Transnistria and Karabakh will follow the path of
Montenegro.

Referendum on declaring independence in Montenegro is a precedent
in the international law,” he told journalists in Moscow before the
third congress of the Union of Armenians of Russia.

“Time will come and resolutions on referendums will be adopted
in the South Caucasus, e.g. Karabakh will acquire independence,”
Zhirinovsky added.

“Karabakh is fully entitled to become an independent state and for
Baku not to feel hurt, it may not join Armenia, having allied relations
with it,” Russian State Duma Vice-Speaker said.

He also reminded that Abkhazia joined Russia earlier than
Georgia and it was included in the Russian Empire as the Abkhaz
Kingdom. “Transnistria has nothing to do with Moldova. Tiraspol
and other cities of Transnistria are those created by Russians and
Transnistria can join Russia with time,” Zhirinovsky remarked.

May 21 a referendum on independence was held in Montenegro. The
Montenegro independence block collected 55.5% of constituency votes,
while the supporters of preservation of the common state got 44.5%
of votes, Russian media report.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
