/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The Kosovo and Nagorno Karabakh conflicts have
much in common but there are certain differences as well. The most
important fact is that the people of Karabakh won their independence
in war while Kosovars were granted it by NATO," Armenian Foreign
Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference in Yerevan.

Whether the international community wants it or not, proclamation of
Kosovo’s independence will become a precedent for other conflicts.

"Azerbaijan always speaks of territorial integrity without clarifying
what it means. Anyway, the matter can concern the safety zone around
NKR but never Nagorno Karabakh itself," the Minister said adding that
no decision can be taken without consent of Karabakhi people.

"I am hopeful that Armenia’s next President will preserve the bases
of negotiation process," he said.

“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
