Vice RA parliamentary speaker Samvel Nikoyan drew similarities between Kosovo and Karabakh issues.

“Difference between Kosovo and Karabakh issue is Kosovo’s being situated in Europe and populated by Albanians,” Nikoyan stated at news conference in Yerevan.

“NKR announced separation from Azerbaijan in accordance with USSR legislation. Humanitarian catastrophe in Kosovo could only be curbed through international forces interference, while Artsakh people had only their own means to rely on.”

“However, from international law viewpoint, Kosovo and Karabakh issues are virtually similar,” RA NA vice speaker emphasized.
