Deputy Chairman of Russian parliament: Russia should recognize Nagorno Karabakh’s independence

APA reports quoting Armenian media that to the question “Can Transnistria hope that Russia will recognize it as a state like Abkhazia and South Ossetia?” Zhirinovsky said:
“Of course, there is such a hope. And not because Russia wants to send its army somewhere else. Romania instigates it. Romanians are hot-tempered. Russia called to recognize all the territories that do not want to be in the composition of the former USSR republics. For 16 years, Russia has been calling to recognize Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and Nagorno Karabakh.”

Speaking about Nagorno Karabakh, Vladimir Zhirinovsky said:
“While Nagorno Karabakh declared its independence, I think Russia should admit it. I am not against Azerbaijanis, or Armenians, but they will never reach an agreement on this issue. Georgians will never reach agreement with Abkhazians, Arabs with Jews and Turks with Kurds.”
