Yerevan, 29 February: Kosovo may become a precedent for recognizing
Nagornyy Karabakh's independence, Armenian President Robert Kocharyan,
said in Yerevan today.
"They may say different things, but it is obvious that the Kosovo case
will become a precedent," Kocharyan said at a meeting with students
of Yerevan State University.
"Kosovo's independence was inevitable," Kocharyan said. He believes
it is possible to extend the duration of Kosovo's international
legal recognition and to soften Serbia's reaction through more
flexible steps.
Nagornyy Karabakh declared its independence back in September 1991,
"this is a recognized fact and we should strive for it to be recognized
by other countries as well", the Armenian president said.
