    BAKU ASSURES ZHIRINOVSKY DOES NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "This is not the first time Vladimir Volfovich
    Zhirinovsky permits himself statements, which run counter not only to
    principles of Russia's relations with former Soviet Union republics,
    but also Russia's common international doctrine. By saying that Nagorno
    Karabakh can acquire independence Zhirinovsky makes a statement, which
    conflicts with Russia's official stance, which lies in recognition
    of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity," stated Head of the Press and
    Information Policy Department of the Azeri MFA Tahir Tagizadeh. In
    his words, "similar statements only complicate Russia's stand as a
    co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group."

    "I do not know reasons, which urged Zhirinovsky to make an odd
    statement like that, however it does not reflect not only official
    Moscow's stand, but also that of the Russian State Duma, of which Mr.
    Zhirinovsky is a Vice-Speaker, and even the posture of the Liberal
    Democratic Party of Russia, which he chairs. Besides, drawing parallels
    between Montenegro and NK is inadmissible. The Russian State Duma
    Vice-Speaker is looking for parallels where these cannot be found. Does
    he believe his own words? I do not think so," Tahir Tagizadeh assures.

    Unrecognized republics, which were formed in the territory of
    the former Soviet Union, will follow the path of Montenegro,
    Russian State Duma Vice-Speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky had
    stated. "Abkhazia, Transnistria and Karabakh will follow the path of
    Montenegro. Referendum on declaring independence in Montenegro is a
    precedent in the international law," he told journalists in Moscow
    before the third congress of the Union of Armenians of Russia. "Time
    will come and resolutions on referendums will be adopted in the South
    Caucasus, e.g. Karabakh will acquire independence," Zhirinovsky
    added. "Karabakh is fully entitled to become an independent state
    and for Baku not to feel hurt, it may not join Armenia, having allied
    relations with it," the Russian State Duma Vice-Speaker said.
