    POLITICAL ANALYST SAYS ARMENIA'S DIPLOMACY REFLECTORY

    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.
