Azerbaijan is in complete self-delusion, trying "to
inveigle" the UNO into the resolution of the Karabakh
Conflict
The UNO has displayed all its capacities in conflict
resolution processes in Kosovo and Middle Eastern
issues, practically having limited itself to useless
declarations.

On February 26 Azerbaijan introduced the UN General Assembly the
project of the resolution on "the situation on the occupied territory
of Azerbaijan", where Azerbaijan asked to confirm its territorial
borders and rights over Nagorno-Karabakh. The voting on the resolution
is scheduled on March 14. From the point of view of Azerbaijan the set
date for the voting is very "successful", since Armenia is suffering
inner political destabilization, Russia is concerned with the issues
of the self-proclaimed CIS republics and the entire world is busy with
the situation in Kosovo.
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ According to the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs
Vartan Oskanyan, Armenia is applying diplomatic efforts to prevent
voting for this resolution. "We think that this step of Azerbaijan is
initiated by the inner political situation in Armenia. True,
Azerbaijan has all the rights to decide the date of the
voting. Unfortunately if the resolution is passed, the president-elect
of Armenia will be in a very unpleasant situation, and this will be
the sign for Azerbaijan's intentions to change its strategy regarding
the negotiations," said Oskanyan.
Chair-countries of OSCE Minsk Group are also against the resolution on
Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict regulation, and they try to convince
Azerbaijan to cancel it. However Baku has decided to go till the end,
being well aware that the OSCE Minsk Group doesn't approve the
resolution and in fact is extremely against changing the course of
Karabakh Conflict regulation. It is natural that the UN General
Assembly doesn't and can't decide anything. The UNO has displayed all
its capacities in conflict resolution processes in Kosovo and Middle
Eastern issues, practically having limited itself to useless
declarations. In this case Azerbaijan can be only satisfied with the
fact that an Islamic state somewhere in the Southeastern Asia will
vote in favor of the resolution, and that is not out of being totally
familiar with the main point of the question, but either on the bases
of pure Islamic solidarity. There is also another very important
point; Azerbaijan has lately been speculating with its oil and gas
even more. In this regard the West may promise Baku everything, but if
it manages to come to a common agreement with Russia (and most
probably this is what is going to happen), Azerbaijan may lose the
battle.
The truth is though, that this voting has one advantage for the
Armenian party as well. The more countries are aware of the conflict,
the better for us. The most important thing is that theses countries
learn not the viewpoint of Azerbaijan, but that of Armenia. So it is
necessary for Armenia to do what Azerbaijan does, which told the world
about "the Armenian atrocities on the Turkic territories".
The Armenian party thinks that this resolution put forward by
Azerbaijan for the in the UNO is not needed and is not very
timely. "It is necessary to emphasize, that the decision of the UN
General Assembly has no legal effect and is not compulsory. Azerbaijan
is well aware of this, however is still trying to continue the mission
it has started," says Vartan Oskanyan.
It is quite possible, that the resolution will be approved, and Baku
will be proud of a recurrent victory of the Azeri diplomacy. If
Azerbaijan wants to be in complete self-delusion, it has all the
rights. However things can take a different direction as well, the
world community knowing what such resolutions may lead to, will
seriously take up the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh. It is hard to say who
will benefit from this. In this regard it shouldn't be forgotten, that
Nagorno-Karabakh, according to the editor of IWPR Tom De Vaal is not
the first priority; he is more concerned with the Middle East,
Afghanistan, Kosovo and other problems. "The West is very much
concerned with the situation in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Kosovo. I
may say without any hesitation, that now the West has neither human
nor other resources to provide Karabakh's security," he said. He also
mentioned that the renewal of the military actions from Azerbaijan
will be nothing but a disaster. "Armenia has been preparing for this
for many years, since Armenia has its plans. The diversion relating
the pipelines shouldn't be excluded either. Even in the oil Market of
Azerbaijan there is much panic. In fact I don't know of a war, where
it ended the way the two parties would want," said the British expert.
