ArmInfo. 'Recognition of Kosovo is a ponderable contribution to
development of the international law, and it may become a precedent
for recognition of other self-declared states but still unrecognized
by the world community', coordinator of the NKR Committee "Helsinki
Initiative-92" Karen Ohajanyan told ArmInfo special correspondent in
Stepanakert. He added that appearance of a new state on the map is
already a unique phenomenon.
"Kosovo used its right for self-determination, secured by the
international law on a par with the states' rights for their
territorial integrity.
Lately, almost all the international intergovernmental organizations
and the leading states of the world put difference in favor of the
states' right for territorial integrity, and Kosovo precedent is a
clear example of the indicated rights' equivalence", K. Ohajanyan
said. He also said a myth saying that "one and the same people
has no right to be self-determined twice and create two, three and
more states" has been stripped away. "Under the present conditions,
recognition of Kosovo is an undisputable fact of ignoring the modern
postulates about inadmissibility of recognition of self-determined
states, the peoples of which have already been self- determined once",
K. Ohajanyan said.
He said that lately, during negotiation processes on settlement of
any conflict, occurred based on the Act on declaration of the states'
independence, the world community ignored the historical aspect and
the mediators always tried to attach a political direction to the
conflict settlement. "This concerns almost all the states, having
been self- determined after breakup of the Soviet Union. Recognition
of Kosovo as an independent state is an undisputable confirmation of
changes of accents of the leading world players striving to change
the system of their estimations", K. Ohajanyan resumed.
