July 23, 2010 | 14:38
International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict on Kosovo's independence
contains significant provisions also applicable to the Karabakh issue,
Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan told the
journalists on Friday.
Zurabyan noted he had not thoroughly studied the document, expressing
confidence it contains certain useful provisions that may be applied
to the resolution of the Karabakh conflict. According to him, the
Karabakh peace process should undergo considerable changes. `Kosovo's
independence was proclaimed on the basis of remedial right to
secede.Today, international law permits broadening of the right to
self-determination up to separation, in case the rights of
self-determined people were violated,' Zurabyan added. The ANC member
stressed that the Armenian foreign office does not draw attention to
this fact. `Meanwhile, it is the most efficient way to advance the
Karabakh issue,' he concluded.
