RUSSIAN DEPUTY FM ON KOSOVO PRECEDENT
Yerevan, April 18. ArmInfo. Generally, we don't agree with the
arguments of those saying that Kosovo's possible independence will
be non-alternative and unique, Russian Deputy FM Grigory Karasin
says in an interview to Novye Izvestiya, when asked how Kosovo's
independence may influence Moscow's position on the four unrecognized
post-Soviet republics (Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transniestria and
Nagorny Karabakh).
This would make Kosovo just one more example of a self-determined
nation, along with Eritrea and East Timor. Naturally, this would become
a precedent for other unrecognized but de facto existing states. We
can't prohibit one to act the way the others are allowed to. That
would be illogical.
