PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian political analyst believes Azerbaijan's
accession to UN Security Council as a non-permanent member to
arise concern.As Yervand Bozoyan told a news conference in Yerevan,
"Azerbaijan will attempt to use the UNSC seat to pressure OSCE Minsk
Group into shifting position on Karabakh settlement in Baku's favor."
The expert accused Armenian diplomacy of inactivity, characterizing
the policy as reflectory. "Currently, Armenia pursues defensive policy
without any specific strategy developed. For a country facing serious
problems, such a policy is unacceptable," he stressed.
"As opposed to Armenia, Azerbaijan is seriously working on its image,
which triggered Baku's accession to UNSC," the expert said.
Azerbaijan has secured a seat on the UN Security Council in 2012-2013
after Slovenia withdrew from the race following 16 inconclusive rounds
of voting.
Azerbaijan's victory was confirmed when it received 155 votes in the
193-nation UN General Assembly, ensuring that it joins Pakistan,
Morocco, Guatemala and Togo as temporary members of the 15-nation
council in January.
The Security Council is the powerhouse of the United Nations, with
the ability to impose sanctions and dispatch peacekeeping forces.
