Recognition of Kosovo to Become Strong Precedent

PanARMENIAN.Net - The negotiations on the Kosovo conflict present an undoubted interest for Nagorno Karabakh, political scientist, head of the Analytical Center of Globalization and Regional Cooperation Stepan Grigoryan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his opinion, the recent events show that the world community bends to recognize the independence of Kosovo. "These events can have a serious impact at the development of conflicts in the post soviet space. The recognition of Kosovo's independence will be come a strong precedent for Nagorno Karabakh and other unrecognized formations of the former USSR," Grigoryan said.



At the same time he noted that in case with Nagorno Karabakh the situation is more transparent, since the right to self-determination of peoples implies conduction of referendums and clarification of the position of the majority of population of the unrecognized formation. "Since Armenians had made the overwhelming majority before the conflict broke out all the elections and referenda in Nagorno Karabakh are legitimate," he underscored.
