QUESTION: What can you say about Azerbaijan’s flurry of activity following Kosovo’s declaration of independence?  

ANSWER: Azerbaijan is in a clear panic over what they are afraid might become the Kosovo precedent. They are putting words in people’s mouths, forcing public statements by others on Azerbaijan’s one-sided and wishful version of the Nagorno Karabakh solution.

Armenia reiterates that each conflict is distinct and that each self-determination movement needs to be allowed to evolve on its own merits.

The more Azerbaijan tries to insist that Kosovo is not a precedent, the more people will think that there perhaps are obvious parallels with other conflicts.
