Kosovo cannot become a precedent in the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, the State Secretary and the First Deputy Foreign Minister
of Slovakia, Olga Algaerova, said to journalists in Yerevan on 28 June.
"We do not believe that the way of resolving the situation with
Kosovo can be used while settlement of other conflict, including
Nagorno-Karabakh," she said.
Algaerova noted that that difference between the conflict in Kosovo
and Nagorno-Karabakh is that the countries are different and have
different political situations," according to Novosti Armenia. In
Armenia they say that Kosovo’s independence can serve as precedent
for Karabakh. The Vice-Speaker of Armenian Parliament, a member of the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation of ‘Dashnaktsutun’, Vaan Ovannisyan,
has recently stated that to journalists.
