/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Speaking not as an OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair but
simply as a citizen of Russia, then our position on Kosovo is well
known. It is universal and can be applied to all conflicts, including
the Nagorno Karabakh one, OSCE Minsk Group Russian Co-chair,
Ambassador Yuri Merzlyakov said.
`Our principle is that all sides involved in the conflict must reach
an agreement and take a mutually acceptable decision,’ he said.
`As to the idea that Kosovo scenario was directed to another course,
we are not guilty of that. We would like to return the Kosovo process
to legal platform. We do not view the Kosovo model as a resolution to
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. For the time being, the sides, thanks
God, only negotiate and meet. At least, this process is ongoing within
the legal course. Unfortunately, over the past period we are not
observing this in Kosovo, after its unilateral declaration of
independence, and especially after following the statements against
this independence by some members of the international community,’
Amb. Merzlyakov said, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
