It is clear that Armenia had taken concrete steps to prevent the
inclusion of the resolution initiated by Azerbaijan on the United
Nations General Assembly agenda, historian Edgar Hovhannisyan said
at a press conference today as he spoke about Azerbaijan's decision
to postpone the discussion of that resolution over Nagorno Karabakh.
"The issue has not been included on the agenda, but has rather been
postponed, which is a success too," said he, adding that the UN has
realized that the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should
remain within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group.
Besides, according to him, the UN has made it sure that it will lose
its credentials should this resolution not be implemented either.
Asked whether Russia has played any role in Azerbaijan's decision
to postpone the discussion of that resolution, Mr Hovhannisyan said
that both Russia and two other OSCE Minsk Group states have played
their role in this issue.
At the same time he recalled that the UN General Assembly has adopted
4 resolutions over Nagorno Karabakh and that Azerbaijan that has been
the fist to breach those requirements.
"The number one requirement of the UN General Assembly's rulings is the
suspension of military actions and aggression, which Azerbaijan has
violated," explained he, adding that Azerbaijan's postponing of the
discussion of that resolution is the victory of Armenia's diplomacy,
as well as the result of the efforts made by the OSCE Minsk Group.
David Jamalyan, a military expert, said in turn that the world powers
are inclined to preserve what he called "bad peace" in the region,
rather than see a war.
"And should the resolution have been adopted given it was not backed by
the world powers, it would not have serious value," said Mr Jamalyan.
