/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Proclamation of Kosovo’s independence is the most
pressing problem of the international community," RA President Robert
Kocharian said at a meeting with the students and teaching staff of
Yerevan State University.
"Proclamation was inevitable. I do know a nation that would not like
to be independent. The point is whether the position of other states
will soften Serbia’s attitude to the issue," he said. "Independence
of Kosovo is a very important precedent. NKR deserves independence
no less than Kosovo and this case just proves that the Armenians are
on the right pass."
As to official recognition of NKR, the President said, "We can
recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh at any moment. But we have
to think how our decision can affect the negotiation process. If the
talks reach a deadlock, Armenia will immediately recognize independence
of Nagorno Karabakh. Everything should be done in the right time."
