/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Presently the international community is engaged in
determination of Kosovo status. The OSCE, UN and other international
structures think that Kosovo should hold democratic elections,
like in Karabakh, in order to be granted independence," head of
the U.S. observation mission Vladimir Matic told a news conference
in Yerevan.
The presidential elections in Nagorno Karabakh fully met the
international standards, he said. According to Paul Williams, the
head of the Public International Law and Policy Group (PILPG), the
determination of Kosovo status will take little time, so Armenia and
Karabakh should be ready for a unique opportunity.
"Resolution of the Kosovo problem will become a precedent. In
this context fair and democratic elections in Karabakh are of great
importance. You should closely watch the Kosovo process during coming
two months and maybe even change the strategy at the international
level," Mr Williams underscored.
