The foreign minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan told news reporters on
June 29 he is ready to help the next president of NKR to participate in
the negotiations on resettlement. `I am sure the next president of NKR
can get acquainted with the state of the talks and participate in the
discussions if necessity occurs,’ Vardan Oskanyan said.
With regard to the problem of Kosovo, the minister said Armenia does
not view it as a precedent for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. The minister said the developments regarding Kosovo cannot be
forecast. According to him, if Kosovo’s independence is recognized,
this precedent may be the last for the international community.
Afterwards, the international community may state it will disagree to
help the other sides of the issue of independence. If Kosovo’s
independence is not recognized, the international community may say it
did not make this move despite the wish of some countries, the minister
said. According to him, neither of the two is favorable for
Nagorno-Karabakh, which moves towards progress. Karabakh has de facto
independence, recognition remains, Oskanyan said.
