ArmInfo. The verdict of UN International Court, according to
which the independence of Kosovo does not conflict with the rules
of international law, has confirmed that the peoples' right for
self-determination may not be prejudiced by other principles of
international law, Chairman of European Integration organization,
political expert Karen Bekaryan said at today' s press-conference.
According to him, the statements saying the Hague Court's decision
has created a precedent to further promote fair solution of the
Karabakh problem are true, however, one should not overrate the
verdict's abilities.
"Finally, the Court's decision does not envisage legal consequences,
it is not binding to application. Nevertheless, due to the verdict,
the chances of Nagorno Karabakh to lobby its interests to prove that
is an international subject essentially increased", Bekaryan said. On
July 22, UN International Court confirmed that declaration of Kosovo
independence did not conflict with international laws. In particular,
according to the decision, unilateral declaration of independence
cannot but be legal.
To recall, independence from Serbia was declared by Kosovo parliament
on February 17, 2008. Before declaration of independence, Kosovo was
under UN administration from 1999 to 2008.
