HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: WILL ARMENIA RECOGNIZE KOSOVO'S INDEPENDENCE?
12:04 25/09/2014 >> DAILY PRESS
An unexpected topic has emerged on the agenda of U.S.-Armenia
relations. The United States is trying to persuade Armenia to recognize
the independence of Kosovo, Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
"If that happens, Armenia will be the first non-Baltic ex-Soviet
republic to recognize the independence of Kosovo. According to
our information, Armenia is interested in it. Armenian diplomats
have told the Americans that if Kosovo recognizes the independence
of Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia will recognize Kosovo. That country's
recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh is very unlikely given the fact that
Kosovo is a Muslim country. This is a very delicate issue, with regard
to Armenian-Russian relations. Russia does not recognize Kosovo,
but formerly it tried to persuade Armenia to recognize Abkhazia and
South Ossetia," says the newspaper.
