The foreign minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan told news reporters on
June 29 he is ready to help the next president of NKR to participate
in the negotiations on resettlement. "I am sure the next president
of NKR can get acquainted with the state of the talks and participate
in the discussions if necessity occurs," Vardan Oskanyan said.

With regard to the problem of Kosovo, the minister said Armenia does
not view it as a precedent for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.

The minister said the developments regarding Kosovo cannot be forecast.

According to him, if Kosovo’s independence is recognized, this
precedent may be the last for the international community. Afterwards,
the international community may state it will disagree to
help the other sides of the issue of independence. If Kosovo’s
independence is not recognized, the international community may
say it did not make this move despite the wish of some countries,
the minister said. According to him, neither of the two is favorable
for Nagorno-Karabakh, which moves towards progress. Karabakh has de
facto independence, recognition remains, Oskanyan said.
