International Court of Justice ruling on Kosovo independence is important to Armenia and NKR, confirming that acknowledgement of NKR independence doesn’t run counter to international law, the head of ARFD Hay Dat Bureau Kiro Manoyan stated.

As he pointed out at news conference in Yerevan, Artsakh independence was declared in accordance with international law, as well as USSR legislation.

Characterising statements on Hague court ruling referring to Kosovo case only as a flaw of judgement, Kiro Manoyan urged to undertake specific steps towards international recognition of NKR independence.
