The claim that the U.S. World Courtâ~@~Ys judgment on Kosovo has to
do with Kosovo alone, and cannot be applied to similar cases, is, to
put it mildly, untrue, Giro Manoyan, Director of the Hay Dat (Armenian
Cause) office, Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), told reporters.
According to him, Armenia must repeatedly stress that the World Court
passed the right judgment, suggesting to the international community
that Kosovo can serve as a precedent for Nagorno-Karabakh as well. It
is important for Armenia to do its best to stress that the recognition
of Nagorno-Karabakh will not run counter to any international legal
norm. The World Courtâ~@~Ys judgment on Kosovo is an opportunity to
stress that Nagorno-Karabakhâ~@~Ys international recognition is within
international law, Manoyan said. He warned against concentrating on
the idea that the judgment can only be applied to Kosovo.
The ARF representative the World Courtâ~@~Ys judgment is a clear
one. It can be viewed as a political judgment, which is supposed
to enable the Armenian side to be more active. It must be made use
of for raising the issue of settling the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,
Manoyan said.
He added that this is a case when Nagorno-Karabakhâ~@~Ys voice must
be heard even better not only in Yerevan, but also outside.
More than 60 nations have recognized Kosovoâ~@~Ys independence. Among
them are the United States and 22 of the 27 EU member-states.
