U.S. Declines Russia’s Policy of Universality in Conflict Resolutions

The United States considers that conflicts in South Caucasus are “unique” which should be dealt “with on their own merits,” Sean McCormack, U.S. Department of State Spokesman, said on March 8.

He was responding to a question regarding the Russia’s position solution on the status of Kosovo should be “universal” in character and applicable for the conflicts in the post-soviet space.
 
“I think, again, these are issues that are unique unto themselves that have to be taken on their own merits and be dealt with as separate issues. You [referring to a journalist] mentioned conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh and South Ossetia. Each of those have unique characteristics that need to be dealt with on their own merits and that’s how we view the issue,” Sean McCormack said.
