KARABAKH DEPUTY: KARABAKH PEOPLE, UNLIKE KOSOVO, GAINED ITS INDEPENDENCE BY ITSELF
Stepanakert, May 25. ArmInfo. Recognition of the results of referendum
on Chernogoria’s independence by Serbia’s authorities is the evidence
of tolerance and constructive approach of Serbian authorities. But,
saying honestly, it seems to me that Chernogoria’s independence is
necessary to both Chernogoria and Serbia proceeding from the fact the
European Union has stopped its negotiations with Serbia concerning
membership and it is supposed the process will be resumed if Serbia
recognizes Chernogoria’s independence. As ArmInfo correspondent in
Stepanakert informs, the chairman of the NKR Parliament’s constant
Commission for Foreign Relations Vahram Atanessyan is of this opinion.
According to him, these two countries, as sovereign states, will soon
become a part of the United Europe. I think, The European Union must
show the same interest to the former Soviet Union countries as well.
In particular, the EU has to make it clear to Azerbaijan that this
country cannot be integrated into the European structures without
recognition of the Karabakh people’s right for self-determination,
Atanessyan said. According to him, the Europe does not show a special
interest to the post-Soviet area, “proceeding from subjective egoistic
considerations, it says, the South Caucasus id far from Europe
and the fire, which appeared here, does not threaten the European
house”. “However, it is a false idea. There is one way for stability:
to respect the rights of all peoples of the region”, Atanessyan said.
