Whilst the negotiations are being continued over the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, Armenia can't recognize countries like Kosovo, Abkhazia
or Southern Ossetia, President Serzh Sargsyan told "Echo Moscow"
radio station.
"Abkhazia, Ossetia, Kosovo surely are significant precedent cases,"
Serzh Sargsyan said adding that still having not recognized the
Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia can recognize neither Abkhazia,
nor Ossetia, nor Kosovo.
"Nobody will understand us," President underscored explaining the
motives of not recognizing NKR: "That will be the final act. We'll
recognize Nagorno-Karabakh if Azerbaijan resumes armed conflict. We
don't recognize the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh de jure, because
we are holding negotiations. If we do it, then the negotiations will
become meaningless."
