    NAGORNO-KARABAKH CASE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF KOSOVO, CORNELL

    Svante Cornell, director of the Washington-based Central Asia-Caucasus
    Institute of the John Hopkins University, has said the case of
    Nagorno-Karabakh was very different from that of Kosovo.

    "One difference is the extent of human rights violations and the
    changes in population structure. In the case of Kosovo, there was
    ethnic cleansing committed against Kosovars by Serbia, which is what
    triggered multilateral international intervention under the NATO
    umbrella. Thus, international intervention restored the demographic
    status before the war.â~@~]

    Cornell said in the case of Nagorno-Karabakh â~@~\the situation is
    very differentâ~@¦â~@~]

    He noted there was massive ethnic cleansing committed by the separatist
    side, especially in the case of Karabakh in 1992-93.

    â~@~\These are, therefore, in many ways mirror images of the Kosovo
    situation, strongly weakening the case for independence made by the
    separatists. It is a long-standing principle of international law
    that it is unacceptable to first alter the demographic situation and
    then make political declarations of independence."
