Kosovo independence recognition opened a new page in fulfillment of peoples’ right for self-determination, Artsakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan stated.

As the President said in an interview with Military Diplomat magazine, for the first time in international practice the former autonomy obtained international recognition of independence without the agreement of former metropolitan country.

The President urged Azerbaijan to accept the logic behind historical processes’ irreversibility by adopting constructive position at negotiations, rather than torture its people with illusions of past. “Regardless of everything, we’ll continue struggle towards international recognition. We’ll only be glad if precedents help progress in recognition,” he stressed.
