THE Croydonian notes:Azerbaijan has persuaded the UN to pass a
resolution "reaffirm[ing] Azerbaijan's territorial integrity,
expressing support for that country's internationally recognized
borders and demanding the immediate withdrawal of all Armenian forces
from all occupied territories there".
Given recent events in Serbia / Kosovo, it is intriguing to note
that some countries are quite happy to dismember Serbia in pursuit
of self-determination for Albanians but will not extend the same
principle to the Armenians of Artsakh. So, here are the states which
have recognised Kosova but have also signed the Azeri motion:
Afghanistan Bangladesh Kuwait Malaysia Morocco Pakistan Saudi Arabia
Senegal Serbia Turkey
Meanwhile, all credit to the unlikely list of refuseniks: Angola,
Armenia, France, India, Russian Federation, United States, Vanuatu.
Our man in NY abstained.
