Hayots Ashkharh: Why Azerbaijan withdrew resolution?
September 11, 2010 | 10:23
Commenting on Azerbaijan's withdrawal of its anti-Armenian resolution
from the agenda of the 64th session of the U. N. General Assembly, the
Hayots Ashkharh (Armenian World) newspaper writes: `The key question
is: what was the reason for Aliev's step? Of course, linking the
withdrawal of the draft resolution to the field monitoring mission in
the regions neighboring on Nagorno-Karabakh scheduled for late
September or early October is merely a chance to save the Azeri
authorities' face. The fact is that by its regular attempts to shift
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue to other agencies Azerbaijan was trying the
patient of mediators dealing with the problem at an expert level. It
is common knowledge that any changes in the format may heighten
tension over the problem, which is undesirable for the geopolitical
centers concerned with regional stability.
`On the other hand, it is obvious that Armenia is not going to ensure
Azerbaijan's regular provocations, but is ready for retaliatory
measures RA President Serzh Sargsyan hinted at the other day. Possible
steps are most likely to be supported by a number of key international
political actors. Among them can be, for example, Armenia's
recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as international recognition
of the country.'
