    ArmInfo. Kosovo issue is the main reason for bringing up Resolution
    on Nagorno Karabakh by Azerbaijan for discussion by UN General
    Assembly, RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan told "Kentron" TV
    channel yesterday.

    The minister recalled that it has been about 2 years already there
    is an issue on bringing the Resolution on Nagorno Karabakh in agenda,
    however, EU-cochairs and countries succeeded yet to persuade Azerbaijan
    to remove it from the agenda. As a result of consultations with
    theses countries, Azerbaijan came to the conclusion that it is of
    no benefit for it to "pass" this Resolution with the help of 20-25
    Islamic countries, and such a version would be a defeat. "However,
    this year, they weighed the circumstance of Kosovo precedent and such
    a "defeat" and decided that it is worthy to pass the Resolution even
    in such a way as to compensate the inspiring of Armenia or Nagorno
    Karabakh in view of Kosovo precedent", RA FM said. He recalled the
    earlier-expressed official position of Armenia, which does not consider
    Kosovo as a precedent. The minister emphasized that the issue of
    self-determination is very important for the Armenian party, however,
    "we did not contribute and oppose to solution of such an issue in other
    countries, we support self-determination as a principle". However,
    irrespective of Kosovo solution, we think that the negotiations on
    Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement should be continued in a normal
    stream and finally reach fulfillment of the NKR people's right for
    self-determination, Vardan Oskanyan said.
