Chairperson of the European Armenian Federation for Justice and
Democracy (EAFJD) Hilda Choboian said that NKR has more grounds for
the international recognition of independence than Kosovo.
The difference between Karabakh and Kosovo is in the fact that Kosovo's
issue was solved politically prior to declaration of independence,
Choboian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
That is why, according to Choboian, the confirmation of lawfulness
of Kosovo's secession from Serbia was not problematic.
"Under international law, nations can fulfill their right to
self-determination, if they are subjected to discrimination by another
state, what is true in the case with Karabakh. Azerbaijan was pursuing
a discriminative policy towards Armenians of Karabakh for 70 years,"
noted Choboian, adding that de-facto Karabakh is following the track
of international recognition.
On July 22, the International Court of Justice said that Kosovo's
unilateral secession from Serbia in 2008 did not violate international
law.
