    KOSOVO CASE RAISES NAGORNO-KARABAKH'S INDEPENDENCE PROSPECTS

    Interfax News Agency, Russia
    Russia & CIS Presidential Bulletin
    February 29, 2008

    Armenian President Robert Kocharian believes that the recognition
    of Kosovo's independence will positively influence the situation
    surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh.

    The Kosovo precedent is very important to Armenia. This will have
    a positive influence on the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh's
    independence, Kocharian told students at Yerevan State University
    on Friday.

    One should remember that we began fighting for the independence of
    Nagorno-Karabakh much earlier. We proclaimed independence in September
    1991 and organized a referendum in December, Kocharian said. Kosovo
    just recently began its fight for independence, he said.

    Nagorno-Karabakh has no fewer chances to have its independence
    recognized than Kosovo, Kocharian said.

    We will be consistent in our fight. Nagorno-Karabakh's independence
    is an accomplished fact for us. Now other countries should recognize
    this as well, Kocharian said.
