The US thinks that the conflicts in Nagorno Karabakh and South Ossetia have unique characteristics and need to be dealt with "as separate issues", US State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack said when commenting on Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning that granting independence to Kosovo might set a very dangerous precedent for settlement of conflicts in the former Soviet Union.
