BAKU FEARS KARABAKH MAY “TURN INTO KOSOVO”

A large article published on the front page of the Baku-based newspaper Zerkalo and entitled “Will Karabakh become Kosovo”, says that Armenia is copying the steps of the Kosovo Albanians, Yerkir Online reported. The author of the article says that Armenians have proposed a transitional period for Karabakh during which the international community would decide whether Nagorno Karabakh is implementing democratic reforms and based on the findings would decide whether or not grant an independence to the republic. It is the same thing the Kosovo Albanians are currently doing, the article goes on saying, and this may seriously hurt Azerbaijan’s positions.
