Almost all present conflicts trace their roots back to the Empire breakdown
Almost all present conflicts are of similar origin; they all trace their roots back to the Empire breakdown. In the case with Kosovo and Karabakh it is the breakdown of the Ottoman Empire and the USSR. By the way, let us not forget to mention the Israel-Palestinian conflict, where Palestine was also part of the Ottoman Empire. Kosovo conflict, due to its proximity to Europe and to Turkey will most probably find a quicker solution than Karabakh conflict.
