Alexander Nalbandov: Hague court emphasized Kosovo case uniquenessJuly 28, 2010 - 12:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - International Court of Justice ruling concerns Kosovo issue only, emphasizing its uniqueness, Deputy Foreign Minister of Georgia Alexander Nalbandov stated. As he stressed at news conference in Tbilisi, Hague court ruling is non-biding, aimed to stress Kosovo case uniqueness. “Georgia, however, was occupied, which makes any discussion of autonomy demand legitimacy for Abkhazia and South Ossetia with half a million Georgian refugees pointless,” Deputy Foreign Minister pointed out. “ICJ analyzes suchlike cases, founding resolutions on territorial integrity principle, rather than people’s right to self-determination. Hague court will not pass a resolution on the legitimacy of occupied Georgian territory independence,” the diplomat believes, PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reported from Tbilisi.
