RA President: NKR deserves independence no less than KosovoFebruary 29, 2008 - 18:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "Proclamation of Kosovo's independence is the most pressing problem of the international community," RA President Robert Kocharian said at a meeting with the students and teaching staff of Yerevan State University."Proclamation was inevitable. I do know a nation that would not like to be independent. The point is whether the position of other states will soften Serbia's attitude to the issue," he said. "Independence of Kosovo is a very important precedent. NKR deserves independence no less than Kosovo and this case just proves that the Armenians are on the right pass." As to official recognition of NKR, the President said, "We can recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh at any moment. But we have to think how our decision can affect the negotiation process. If the talks reach a deadlock, Armenia will immediately recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh. Everything should be done in the right time."
