K. MANOYAN: "KOSOVO IS A PRECEDENT FOR KARABAKH"
http://a1plus.am/en/politics/2010/07/28/kiro-manoyan
"The ruling of the International Court of Justice on Kosovo
independence is important to NKR and can serve as a precedent for
Nagorno-Karabakh," head of ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Bureau's Hay Dat and
Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan said today.
It is important for Armenia to do its best to confirm that the
recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh does not run counter to international
law. Artsakh declared independence in accordance with international
law and USSR legislation.
Kiro Manoyan does not share the opinion of the U.S. Deputy Secretary
of State that The Hague Court ruling only refers to Kosovo and cannot
be applied to other countries.
"I am convinced that the ruling will serve as a precedent for other
similar cases," Manoyan emphasized.
Kiro Manoyan is surprised at the indifference of NKR after the ICJ
ruling on Karabakh.
"Artsakh was to hold a meeting. This is the case when
Nagorno-Karabakh's voice was to be made audible not only in Yerevan,
but also outside the city. NKR authorities should not have sufficed
by statements at a presidential level. They should call the attention
of international community to Karabakh. "
Referring to recognition of NKR independence by Armenia Mr. Manoyan
said the time has not matured yet.
"Armenia has de jure recognized NKR independence. Surely, recognition
of Karabakh independence by Armenia will alleviate the process of
recognition worldwide. Yet, it does not mean we must do it today as
it will be viewed as a hindrance on the way to the Karabakh conflict
settlement. But if the negotiations enter a deadlock, Armenia must
recognize NKR independence."
Kiro Manoyan urged relevant bodies to undertake drastic measures
towards international recognition of NKR independence.
