Peter Burdykin said the statement by Russian State Duma Vice-speaker
Vladimir Zhirinovsky on the possibility of Nagorno Karabakh's
independence `doesn't reflect the position of the RF leadership.'
Burdykin remarked that `a parliamentarian expressing his personal
viewpoint does not express the position of the state.'
He said the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement is a very subtle
issue and even mature members of the Russian and U.S. foreign
departments read their statement from paper, reported Day.az.
To remind, Russian State Duma Vice-speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky stated
that unrecognized republics, which were formed in the territory of the
former Soviet Union, will follow the path of Montenegro, Russian State
Duma Vice-Speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky had stated. `Abkhazia,
Transnistria and Karabakh will follow the path of Montenegro.
Referendum on declaring independence in Montenegro is a precedent in
the international law,' he told journalists in Moscow before the third
congress of the Union of Armenians of Russia. `Time will come and
resolutions on referendums will be adopted in the South Caucasus,
e.g. Karabakh will acquire independence,' Zhirinovsky added.
`Karabakh is fully entitled to become an independent state and for
Baku not to feel hurt, it may not join Armenia, having allied
relations with it,' the Russian State Duma Vice-Speaker said.
