He also said that Armenia will not recognise them for the same reason that it did not recognise Kosovo's independence and that Armenia can not recognise another entity in the same situation as long as it has not recognised the [[Nagorno-Karabakh Republic]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.armenialiberty.org/armeniareport/report/en/2008/09/E5FDD453-D06C-4C03-B625-2C741767F725.ASP|title=Armenia Rules Out Abkhazia, South Ossetia Recognition|website=«Ազատ Եվրոպա/Ազատություն» ռադիոկայան|access-date=5 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081109035814/http://www.armenialiberty.org/armeniareport/report/en/2008/09/E5FDD453-D06C-4C03-B625-2C741767F725.ASP|archive-date=9 November 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Tigran Balayan]], Head of the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Armenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]] Press Office said, "Armenia has always favoured and continues to believe that any attempt for military solution to conflicts is futile.
