Serbia will not become a precedent for the further recognition of
the so-called "Nagorno Garabagh Republic".

The due statement was made by famous Armenian political scientist
Alexander Iskandaryan.

He noted that such problems have never been settled by the precedent.

Asked whether Russia tries to use the unsettled Nagorno-Garabagh
conflict for its external policy, he said Russia, like any other
country, which is concerned with Garabagh conflict, attempts to use
it for its purposes.

"This is the main point of the external policy", he said.

He stressed that Russia mainly voices the threat to recognize Abkhazia,
South Ossetia and does not mention Garabagh, which is interesting
enough.

He said recognition of Kosovo will influence the situation around
Garabagh.

"It influences the situation right now, whatever we say these too
conflicts have much in common", he concluded.
