"The election of Azerbaijan as a non-permanent member of the
UN Security Council will not harm the process of settlement of
the Karabakh issue, since the non-permanent membership does not
provide such privileges or opportunities," President of the European
Integration NGO, analyst Karen Bekaryan told a press conference today.
According to him, Azerbaijan neither wins, nor loses from the
perspective of submitting proposals, since even without that membership
Azerbaijan had no problems coming forth with new initiatives. The
likelihood of their passage is a different question, he said.
"The passage of legally non-binding bills in the General Assembly
requires the consent of the majority, while in the Security Council
everything depends on other, especially permanent members, which
have the right of veto. Three of those permanent members are the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairing countries," the analyst said.
Karen Bekaryan explains the Azerbaijani aspirations to become
a non-permanent member with two factors. "The Aliyev clan tried
to create a winner's image inside the country, thus diverting the
attention of the society from other issues, and soften Azerbaijan's
image of a non-democratic country in the outer world."
