YEREVAN. - All that remains is to see whether Azerbaijan would
abandon its militaristic policy and aggressive statements at UN
Security Council (UNSC), Armenia's FM Edward Nalbandian stated at
the National Assembly, on Thursday.
As per Nalbandian, numerous emotional statements are recently made
concerning Azerbaijan becoming a UNSC non-permanent member.
"With respect to transferring the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) issue to UNSC
platform, I would like to say that the OSCE (Organization for Security
and Co-operation in Europe) Minsk Group's Co-Chairing countries,
which are UNSC permanent members, have announced that the NK issue
shall be resolved within the OSCE Minsk Group framework. Therefore,
there is no need to get emotional over some statements by Azerbaijan,"
Armenia's FM maintained.
Also reflecting on official Baku's viewpoint that the latter took
part in UNSC through international support, Nalbandian noted that,
with its present-day policy, Azerbaijan has put itself in an impasse.
"The international community already expressed its views, which
coincide with Armenia's position and do not coincide with Azerbaijan's
position," Nalbandian recalled. In his words, the nature of
Azerbaijan's position manifested itself during the trilateral meeting
in Kazan, Russia, when Azerbaijan evaded the presented document.
"Let us see whether Azerbaijan can now abandon its militaristic policy
and aggressive statements, albeit it is difficult to believe that.
Armenia will continue the balanced and calm policy, without any nervous
shocks, both in settlement of the Karabakh issue and in safeguarding
its security," Armenian FM concluded.
