Infringement of the territorial integrity of one of the European countries is an undesirable event for Azerbaijan, said Rasim Musabekov, an independent political analyst, adding that “however, there is no reason for worrying.”

Musabekov stressed that the official Baku should not undertake obligations to anyone to recognize Kosovo. On the other hand, the political analyst noted, “Kosovo’s case really has no analogues, because, had it been no interference of the UN, the Serbs would have continued carrying out ethnic purges, slaughtering whole districts with prevailing Muslim population, no Kosovars would be left today.” “As we see now, establishment of the direct control of the UN in Kosovo was an only action to protect the party which was suffering from an imposed armed conflict, that is the Kosovars,” he noted. Thus, no wonder, he believes, that first Europe and the USA were protecting the Muslim inhabitants of Kosovo in every way from the Serbs that overwhelmed them by many times in human forces and armored vehicles, and now they recognize Kosovo as an independent state. According to him, contrary to the Kosovo case, “nobody plans to recognize” independence of the Armenians in Karabakh.
