Sudan may serve as precedent for Nagorno-Karabakh, however there is no
shortage of such precedents, Armenian FM says

Armenia never ignored and does not ignore historical facts. Turning a
blind eye on the past and historical roots of various controversial
issues will not help to find a solution, Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbnadian stated in an interview with Russia Today.
`However, one should look at the future and seek conflict solutions
instead of saying the goal is zero problems, at that bringing about
new problems. Each conflict is specific in its roots, peculiarities,
dynamics, development and formats of the negotiation process.
Therefore, it is incorrect to draw parallel between them. However,
there can be some common elements between conflicts. For this reason,
I do not think one conflict must be directly compared with another.
Commenting on the precedent of Sudan, which has recently declared
independence in a national referendum, Nalbandian said: `Certainly,
Sudan can serve as a precedent. However, there is no shortage of such
precedents. Sudan is simply the latest one. The formation of many of
the UN member-states may serve as a precedents, which became
independent by enforcement of nation's right to self-determination.
Nagorno-Karabakh and Karabakhi people have equal rights with other
nations to decide their destiny under the sun,' the FM emphasized.
