Asked to comment on Azerbaijan’s flurry of activity following Kosovo’s
declaration of independence, Head of Media Relations Division of
RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tigran Balayan said: "Azerbaijan is
in a clear panic over what they are afraid might become the Kosovo
precedent.

They are putting words in people’s mouths, forcing public statements
by others on Azerbaijan’s one-sided and wishful version of the Nagorno
Karabakh solution.

Armenia reiterates that each conflict is distinct and that each
self-determination movement needs to be allowed to evolve on its
own merits.

The more Azerbaijan tries to insist that Kosovo is not a precedent,
the more people will think that there perhaps are obvious parallels
with other conflicts."
