ArmInfo. "Russia must recognize Nagorny Karabakh if it declares
independence," says Vladimir Zhirinovski, Leader of the Liberal
Democratic Party of Russia, Vice-Speaker of the Russian State Duma,
in an interview with Latvian "Neatkarigas Rita Avize".
"I am not against either Armenians or Azerbaijanis, but they will
never agree on Nagorny Karabakh like Georgian will never agree with
Abkhazia. Arabs will never agree with the Jews. Kurds and Turks will
never reach an agreement either," he says. Zhirinovski mentions that
Russia has called recognizing all the territories that did not want
to be part of their former Soviet republics. "Russia has been calling
for recognition of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transdniestria and Nagorny
Karabakh for already 16 years," he says.
