  • Kosovo Is Remarkable With That It Was The First Autonomy To BeSepara

    KOSOVO IS REMARKABLE WITH THAT IT WAS THE FIRST AUTONOMY TO BE SEPARATED FROM A REPUBLIC

    Yerevan, ArmInfo. Former Co-Chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group Vladimir
    Kazimirov called groundless statements by Western diplomats that the
    issue of Kosovo is unique and cannot be taken for example in settling
    conflicts on the post-Soviet area.

    Kazimirov said that in order to prevent escalation of conflicts
    it is necessary to take into account the unique circumstances of
    each conflict, formed through long years. He admitted that people's
    right for self- determination should be preferred to the principle of
    territorial integrity in case the will of the people is obvious and
    especially in case blood is spilt to prove that will. In this sense
    Kosovo is remarkable only with that it was the first autonomy to be
    separated from a republic (unlike numerous republics that separated
    from federations).

    Natural demographical shifts cannot be avoided but they are
    unacceptable if caused by administrative persuasion or military force,
    said the former Co-Chair of the Minsk Group. 'One cannot neglect
    that Kosovars became majority in Kosovo, and it is obvious that they
    cannot be deported so that the Serbs become majority again, as it
    was centuries ago. The same situation is in Nakhijevan and Karabakh
    in case of Armenians and Azeris,' noted Kazimirov.
