  • Recognizing Kosovo's Independence Will Mean "Trying To Fish Artsakh'

    RECOGNIZING KOSOVO'S INDEPENDENCE WILL MEAN "TRYING TO FISH ARTSAKH'S INDEPENDENCE IN TROUBLED WATERS"

    The historic past of Kosovo, having nothing in common with the Karabakh
    issue, is much more like the history of Nakhijevan, when the world
    powers decided to artificially annex territories to the country they
    considered convenient, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan
    declared at a press conference today.

    According to him, Armenia must not recognize the independence of
    Kosovo, because it will mean "trying to fish Artsakh's independence
    in troubled waters." According to Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan, the
    self-determination of Kosovo counters the historic ethics; this
    independence has been acquired in an unfair way and can be viewed as
    an expression of separatism.

    "Listening to the explanations of the 15 countries that recognized
    the independence of Kosovo, I understood that the world is not guided
    by law: state make decisions, deriving from their own interests,"
    the political scientist said. He quoted the representative of France
    as saying that Kosovo should be independent from Serbia because the
    peoples of the two states have different cultures and because people
    in Kosovo suffered hardship during ex-President Slobodan Milosevic's
    rule. According to Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan, both explanations are
    characteristic of the Karabakh conflict. "If after all this, the world
    fails to recognize the independence of Artsakh, it will be immoral."
