Russia will recognize Karabakh in case of strike on Iran - ZhirinovskyFebruary 29, 2012 - 16:26 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian presidential candidate, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) Vladimir Zhirinovsky shared his vision of solutions to Nagorno Karabakh issue. “There are only 2 possible ways to resolve Karabakh issue: NKR either belongs with Armenia to form a single state, or Russia will recognize it as an independent republic,” Zhirinovsky said during a meeting with representatives of Moscow-based Armenian social organizations. As a compromise solution, LDPR leader suggested for Azerbaijan, Karabakh and Armenia to join Russia in any status. “With 3 states joining in a single legal field, the problem will self-eliminate,” he explained. Russia’s recognizing Karabakh as an independent republic is possible in case of an attack against Iran, the politician believes. “We recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia immediately after the start of Georgia-South Ossetia conflict in August 2008. Were Turkey and Azerbaijan to take sides with the U.S. and NATO in striking Iran, Russia would recognize Karabakh’s independence to secure Armenian people’s safety,” Zhirinovsky said.
