"Azerbaijan tries to make use of internal situation, established in
Armenia, both in the military and political sense".
The due announcement was made by Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan.
The Armenian Minister reminded that Azerbaijan has applied UN
resolution on Nagorno Karabakh, with voting scheduled for March 14.
"We continue diplomatic works to prevent this resolution, as we
consider that it is applied to make use of the internal political
situation in Armenia by Azerbaijan", Oskanyan noted.
At the same time, the minister said Azerbaijan has a right to apply
the resolution any time. "However, it should be taken into account
that there is an unexhausted potential in the negotiation process,
the newly elected president of Armenia is ready to continue talks
on the Karabakh issue from the grounds we have achieved by now",
Oskanyan noted.
He also added that in case this resolution is applied the newly elected
president of Armenia will be in a difficult state "which will mean
that Azerbaijan intends to change its strategy on the talks".
He considers that Armenia's efforts to resists Baku's steps have
given good results.
Oskanyan said Azerbaijan's substantiations on the resolution are based
on the Kosovo precedent, which Armenia regards as an unsubstantiated
ground from their side.
"Baku just tries to make use of the situation in Kosovo and internal
political situation in Armenia in an attempt to settle its tasks and
reach recognition of its territorial integrity, which Azerbaijan had
attempted to do more than once, but failed", Oskanyan noted.
At the same time, the minister noted that he can not predict results
of voting on the resolution.
"I can only assure that co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group attempt
to persuade Azerbaijan to withdraw the resolution. I do not know
whether they will be successful or no, but I do hope that OSCE
Minsk Group member-states will not support the said resolution",
Oskanyan announced.
