    New UN Resolution is Next Victory of Azerbaijan's Diplomacy:
    Department Head of Azerbaijani Presidential Administration

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 16 March / Trend News / Official Baku assesses the
    UN General Assembly's adoption of the Resolution on Situation in
    Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan as strengthening of Azerbaijan's
    position in the international arena, said the Head of the Foreign
    Relations Department of Azerbaijani Presidential Administration,
    Novruz Mammadov, in his interview with AzTV channel. He described the
    new UN Resolution as Azerbaijan's victory.

    According to Mammadov, the Resolution will positively affect the
    negotiations process as well. He considers that the issue that some
    39 UN member-countries supported Baku's position means that
    Azerbaijan may strengthen its position on this issue in the future as
    well.

    According to Mammadov, the Resolution will bring Armenia into a
    desperate situation. `If to compare this Resolution with the previous
    decisions on Azerbaijan, their difference is clearly seen. The
    document helps strengthen Azerbaijan's position, expand its
    influence, as well as is a factor of influence on the negotiations
    process,' Mammadov said. In addition, he said that after UN General
    Assembly's adoption of a new Resolution, the OSCE Minsk Group
    Co-Chairmen should demonstrate a concrete position on the conflict
    settlement because the document says that the Co-Chairmen should
    conduct their activities based on the norms and principles of the
    international law and principles of territorial integrity of
    Azerbaijan. Mammadov said that it is a serious message to them.

    Mammadov considers that the position of Armenia and the forces
    supporting it weaken. `Armenian Armed Forces occupied Azerbaijani
    lands and the UN Resolution requires their withdrawal from the
    occupied Azerbaijani lands. The Armenian government should correctly
    understand this message and demonstrate a constructive position and
    take steps directed towards settling the conflict,' he said.

    According to Mammadov, the Resolution will strengthen the internal
    tension in Armenia and will not allow the country to continue its
    unconstructive position for long.
