/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If Kosovo is granted independence it will mean that
the struggle of Artsakhi people was right, Jane's Intelligence Center
expert Richard Giragosian told a news conference in Yerevan. "A
question arouses: why can Kosovo be independent but Karabakh
cannot?" he said.
"Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Armenia. It cannot be a part of
Azerbaijan. The events of 1988 in Sumagit, Baku and Kirovabad proved
this fact. Time works for Armenia. Development and settlement of the
buffer zone around NK is a priority task. If Azerbaijan really wants
war, it's just an unrealizable and losing dream.
With Safar Abiyev at the head of the Defense Ministry, the Azeri army
faces no serious reform, despite the announced budget of $1 billion"
he said.
The expert thinks the presidential meeting in Saint Petersburg
produced no effect. "The last wave of progress in talks appeared in
Key West in 2001. After that the process slumped. As to "the window
of possibilities", it has never existed," Giragosian said.
