Chairman of the Public Council on Foreign Policy and Security,
former deputy foreign minister of NKR Masis Mailyan said that prior to
declaration of independence by Kosovo, experts dealing with conflicts
in the Balkans used to say that NKR has more legal and institutional
grounds for achieving independence than Kosovo.
>From this point of view, the ruling of the International Court
of Justice will play an important precedent-related role for the
international recognition of Nagorno Karabakh, Mailyan told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
According to Mailyan, after the ruling of the International Court of
Justice, there are sound grounds for Armenia to launch negotiations
with Pristina with respect to recognition of Kosovo~Rs independence
by Armenia and recognition of Karabakh~Rs independence by Pristina.
The restraint displayed by Armenia towards recognition of Kosovo for
the past two years has not yielded significant results, while Serbia
was successfully developing its relations with the EU, U.S., Turkey,
which were among the firsts to recognize Kosovo's independence.
The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen should reject the outdated
methodology, which they apply for the Karabakh conflict resolution,
and should start developing new suggestions, taking into consideration
the current international and legal reality, as well as modern
international practice for conflict resolution,~T concluded Mailyan.
On July 22, the International Court of Justice said that Kosovo's
unilateral secession from Serbia in 2008 did not violate international
law.
