    CRIMEA REFERENDUM TO PUT KARABAKH INTO FOCUS: EXPERT

    March 3, 2014 - 17:53 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Decision to protect Crimea's Russian population,
    taken under complicated circumstances, marked an important tendency
    in Moscow's understanding of the norms of international law, a member
    of the International Law Association of Russia said.

    As Denis Dvornikov told PanARMENIAN.Net for many decades, the dispute
    over the precedence of the nations' right to self-determination versus
    territorial integrity was politicized, leading many negotiations to
    a standstill.

    "After Russia's recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, political
    acknowledgement of Crimeans' right to decide their own fate marked a
    clear tendency in the international law enforcement practice. Thus,
    Russia confirmed that at least in post-Soviet space, peoples' right
    to self-determination takes precedence," the expert said, noting that
    there are no premises for major hostilities in Ukraine.

    "Same is true for Karabakh," the expert noted. "In present-day
    situation, Russia is likely to recognize the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
    sooner than Armenia does. This is the reason why backing Crimeans'
    right for self-determination at the oncoming forum will bring Kahabakh
    issue into focus, considering many historic similarities - Soviet
    leadership's thoughtless transfer of aboriginal lands of one nation
    to another republic, lengthy struggle for independence and peaceful
    co-existence with neighboring countries," Dvornikov noted.

    "After the Crimea-related issues, time must come for unequivocal
    and uncompromising decisions on the Nagorno Karabakh. Otherwise,
    consistency and objectivity of Russia's decisions will be questioned,"
    the expert concluded.
