/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan's resolution on Karabakh awaits vote in
the UN on March 14, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told
a news conference in Yerevan.
Azerbaijan attempts to make use of the tensed political situation
in Armenia, according to him. "We work for prevention of this vote,
since Azerbaijan tries to use the crisis in Armenia to achieve its
own ends. Unfortunately, passage of the resolution will put Armenia's
President-elect in an awkward position and will mean that Azerbaijan
intends to change its stance in the talks," the Minister said.
Armenia's efforts produce effect bout it's hard to foretell the
outcome of the vote, according to him.
"Exploiting the situation in Kosovo and tensions inside Armenia,
Baku attempts to press for recognition of its territorial
integrity. Presently, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs are persuading
Azerbaijan to recall the resolution. I can't say whether they will
succeed but I am hopeful that the OSCE MG co-chair states will not
support the resolution.
On February 26, Azerbaijan introduced in the UN General Assembly
a draft resolution titled "Situation in occupied territories of
Azerbaijan", which urges to confirm Azerbaijan's territorial integrity
and right to Nagorno Karabakh.
