Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated
today that if Azerbaijan becomes a non-permanent member of the UN
Security Council "it will not raise the authority of the structure but,
vice versa, will undermine it".
The Minister stated this in Yerevan, addressing the joint press
conference with the European Union Special Representative for the
Southern Caucasus and crisis in Georgia Philippe Lefort, Mediamax
reports.
"UN Security Council's main goal and objective is to establish,
maintain and cement peace. Many people wonder: how a country with a
leadership who takes pride in having increased its military budget
20-fold over 6 years and has made the threat of using force the major
part its policy can have such ambitions?", said the Minister.
He noted that Azerbaijan is competing against two EU member-countries,
Hungary and Slovenia, for the position of non-permanent member of
the UN Security Council.
