ANKARA, JUNE 13, NOYAN TAPAN. Turkey has recognized the Republic of
Montenegro separated from Serbia through a referendum. According to the
Chihan Turkish news agency, Foreign Minister of Montenegro Vlahovich
applied to his Turkish colleague Abdullah Gul for the latter to assist
the international recognition of his state. Gul responded positively
and instructed to undertake all necessary measures for establishing
diplomatic relations with Montenegro.
It is interesting that the Turkish press considers the independence
of Montenegro a good precedent for recognition of the independence of
the self-proclaimed republic of North Cyprus but says nothing about
the fact of Nagorno Karabakh's becoming independent of Azerbaijan
through a referendum 15 years ago.
