Fikret Sadikhov 'Armenian Foreign Ministry said nothing, because in
general, Armenian side benefits from the postponement', said political
scientist Fikret Sadikhov.
Azerbaijani political analyst has commented on the postponed
consideration of draft resolution on the situation in the occupied
territories at the plenary session of the UN General Assembly.
'The issue of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan was considered
in March 2008 and then adopted a resolution in favor of Azerbaijan,
which confirms our territorial integrity and calls for the withdrawal
of Armenian troops from occupied territories of Azerbaijan', said
political scientist Fikret Sadikhov, commenting on the postponed
consideration of the UN draft resolution on compliance with
international human rights and international law in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan in the General Assembly.
According to the analyst, it is important for Azerbaijan that these
resolutions are executed for them not to remain on paper, for relevant
pressure to be put on Armenia.
Asked why the Armenian Foreign Ministry said nothing about the
postponed consideration of the draft resolution, the expert noted
that the Foreign Ministry of Armenia is again trying to hide behind
the existing facts.
'Armenian Foreign Ministry said nothing, because in general, the
Armenian side benefits from the postponement. They do not want to be
the object of criticism of the next legal document, calling them the
occupier. In this regard, they have taken a wait and see position. I
admit that the Minsk Group, which visited Yerevan, has played a
role here.
Surely by asking us to postpone this issue until the next session,
they turned to the official Yerevan urging it not to aggravate the
situation and not to comment on the official level. This is the factor
which again confirms that the leading states can have sufficient
influence on official Yerevan when necessary', he said.
