    More grounds to grant ex-Soviet regions independence than Kosovo - Kokoity

    Interfax, Russia
    Nov 17 2006

    MOSCOW. Nov 17 (Interfax) - The breakaway regions in three former
    Soviet republics have better reasons to seek independence than Kosovo,
    President of the breakaway republic of South Ossetia Eduard Kokoity
    said at Friday news conference at the Interfax central office in
    Moscow.

    "We have better political and legal reasons for recognition than
    Kosovo," he said, before accusing "the international community of a
    policy of double standards toward all four republics."

    He was referring to South Ossetia, Abkhazia (both de jure part of
    Georgia), Transdniestria (Moldova), and the Armenian-speaking enclave
    of Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan).
