Meyer: Kosovo Settlement Model Equal for Post Soviet ConflictsMarch 29, 2006 - 14:38 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The situation in Nagorno Karabakh resembles the situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Director of the Institute of Asian and African Studies at the Moscow State University Mikhail Meyer said. "I believe the Kosovo settlement model can be applied in the South Caucasian region. The West will try to divide these notions. In one case, it's Kosovo that doesn't enjoy support of any great power, in the other case, it's the territories supported by Russia," he noted. In his words, the Kosovo settlement model is equal for the resolution of the conflicts available in the post soviet space. "It is clear the West will not wish to use Kosovo independence as precedent but Russia will try to use it," Mikhail Meyer said.
