/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The problem of Kosovo’s independence and creation
of a precedent for conflicts in the CIS refer to realpolitik,
member of the Armenian National Assembly’s committee on European
integration, political scientist Armen Ashotyan said in an interview
with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"The Karabakh issue doesn’t need any precedents; it finds resolution
within international law.
Azerbaijan’s arguments are invented, those of Armenia base on
international law. If Kosovo is granted independence, so Karabakh
deserves it much more. There are plenty of differences between Kosovo
and Karabakh.
The latter is a self-controlled state with developing economy. Unlike
Kosovo, Karabakh is not a destabilizing factor in the region. The only
minus is the demographic factor. There are 2 million of Albanians
in Kosovo while the Armenians population of Karabakh makes 150
thousand. Whatever, Karabakh has never been and will never be a part
of Azerbaijan.
With recognizing independence of Kosovo and not recognizing that
of Karabakh, the international community will provide a glaring and
cynical example of double standards," he said.
