  • Azerbaijan in complete self-delusion, trying "to inveigle" the UNO

    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.
