    ArmInfo. Armenian leadership has reiterated many times that every
    conflict should be observed separately, late Armenian Foreign Minister
    Vardan Oskanyan said at today's briefing when replying the question
    regarding recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia by Russia and
    its possible affecting the Karabakh conflict settlement.

    'We have about unigue nature of the Karabakh conflict taking into
    consideration the above mentioned and the situation set over the last
    years', - the former minister said and added that recent events and the
    view of the world community in this context are dictating the necessity
    of making important stresses. He also added two circumstance may be
    distinguished as a result of recent events - application of force and
    the problem of territorial integrity. Russia grounded that Georgia has
    applied force towards Abkhazia and South Ossetia, for this reason their
    independence is inevitable. Such assessment of Russia was contradicted
    to the opinion of the world community, Oskanyan said. 'Taking all
    this into account, we must put stresses in the Karabakh issue. First,
    Armenia does not recognize independence of Nagorny Karabakk and has no
    intention to do that as long as the negotiations are held on the basis
    Karabakh people's right to self-determination. We want to achieve
    that through negotiations', V. Oskanyan said. Another grounding is
    that Azerbaijan had already applied force and resorted to ethnic purge
    with regard to Karabakh people to ensure it territorial integrity. At
    the same time, the ex-foreign minister said recognition of NKR's
    independence must be in the arsenal of Armenia's foreign policy,
    which must be repeatedly mentioned both for Azerbaijan and the world
    community. 'But this weapon must be used at the proper moment. I think,
    it is not time for it yet', V. Oskanyan said.
