YEREVAN, November 6. /ARKA/. Armenia is not inclined to considering
the Kosovo precedent as an ideal option for settlement of all the
conflicts, member of Bureau of Armenian Revolutionary Federation
Dashnaktsutiun (ARFD) party, Vice-Speaker of Armenian Parliament Vahan
Hovhannisian told journalists in commenting the statement made by CE
Secretary General Thierry Davis yesterday.

"It is not news for us that Europe is not eager to consider Kosovo
as a precedent, but we never said that Kosovo precedent is an ideal
option for everyone," Hovhannisian said.

He pointed out that any conflict has its unique history and phases
of development and, naturally, solutions may be non-typical.

"At the same time, when a precedent comes up, somehow it becomes a
precedent regardless of the wishes of different people; it is not
necessarily to be an absolute precedent, but many elements of that
precedent will be used," Hovhannisisan said.

Monday the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thierry
Davis pointed out numerous differences existing between Kosovo and
Nagorno-Karabakh conflicts.
