/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The Kosovo and Nagorno Karabakh conflicts have
much in common but there are certain differences as well. The most
important fact is that the people of Karabakh won their independence
in war while Kosovars were granted it by NATO," Armenian Foreign
Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference in Yerevan.
Whether the international community wants it or not, proclamation of
Kosovo's independence will become a precedent for other conflicts.
"Azerbaijan always speaks of territorial integrity without clarifying
what it means. Anyway, the matter can concern the safety zone around
NKR but never Nagorno Karabakh itself," the Minister said adding that
no decision can be taken without consent of Karabakhi people.
"I am hopeful that Armenia's next President will preserve the bases
of negotiation process," he said.
