    Head of Nagorno Karabakh's Azerbaijani community blames Russia for
    Kosovo's declaration of independence

    [ 19 Feb 2008 16:06 ]

    Baku. Lachin Sultanova-APA. `Recognition of Kosovo's independence is
    the beginning of erosion of all international acts and conventions
    adopted in connection with the territorial integrity of states,'
    commenting on Kosovo's declaration of independence and recognition of
    its independence by some states, chief of Public Union `Nagorno
    Karabakh's Azerbaijani community', head of Shusha Executive Power
    Nizami Bahmanov told APA.

    Bahmanov considers that as there is a gap in the legal acts adopted
    by international organizations in connection with the territorial
    integrity of states, Kosovo's independence is not recognized by the
    UN member states, as well as all of the European states. According to
    Nizami Bahmanov, Russia paved the way for the conflicts in the
    post-Soviet space - in Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
    `Slaughters in the Balkans after the collapse of Yugoslavia were also
    prepared and supported by Russia. The conflicts remained unsolved due
    to Russia's great efforts. This caused unilateral declaration of
    Kosovo's independence,' he said.
    Nizami Bahmanov states on behalf of the community that Kosovo's
    unilateral declaration of independence is illegal and contradicts the
    international legal norms.
    Nizami Bahmanov mentioned that there is no unanimous opinion
    concerning Kosovo's independence in the UN Security Council and
    underlined that this step of Kosovo's authority will cause
    undesirable results.
    Bahmanov noted the importance of solving every conflict in line with
    the international legal norms and in the framework of the territorial
    integrity and added that Kosovo issue can not be precedent for the
    settlement of Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.
    `There is fact of occupation in Nagorno Karabakh conflict - Armenia
    has been occupying Azerbaijani territory and is recognized as an
    aggressive state. Our president state in all meetings that the
    conflict will be solved in the framework of territorial integrity of
    Azerbaijan and it is reflected in all the declarations signed with
    various countries,' he said.
    Nizami Bahmanov considers that Russia that creates `frozen conflicts'
    will be punished for this.
    `Recognition of Kosovo's independence by some countries is revenge on
    Russia,' he said.
