Vladimir Zhirinovsky While Nagorno Karabakh has declared its
independence, Russia should admit it, deputy chairman of the Russian
parliament said.
"While Nagorno Karabakh has declared its independence, Russia should
admit it," deputy chairman of the Russian parliament, leader of
Russian Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky said in his
interview to Latvia-based Neatkarigas Rita Avize newspaper.
Armenian media reports that to the question "Can Transnistria hope
that Russia will recognize it as a state like Abkhazia and South
Ossetia?" Zhirinovsky said: "Of course, there is such a hope. And
not because Russia wants to send its army somewhere else. Romania
instigates it. Romanians are hot-tempered. Russia called to recognize
all the territories that do not want to be in the composition of
the former USSR republics. For 16 years, Russia has been calling to
recognize Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and Nagorno Karabakh."
Speaking about Nagorno Karabakh, Vladimir Zhirinovsky said: "While
Nagorno Karabakh declared its independence, I think Russia should
admit it. I am not against Azerbaijanis, or Armenians, but they will
never reach an agreement on this issue. Georgians will never reach
agreement with Abkhazians, Arabs with Jews and Turks with Kurds."
