Armenia
YEREVAN. - The forthcoming 66th UN General Assembly session will
become another stage of missed opportunities for Armenia, said Regional
Studies Center Director and political analyst Richard Giragosian.
According to him, the Armenian side does not use the potential of
this important body (the UN), the evidenced thereof is lack of any
initiatives during the debates on Palestine's independence bid.
"This week the delegates will discuss independence of a number of
states. The session will be attended by representatives of South
Sudan, and Kosovo, but the Karabakh issue will not be raised neither
in form of a resolution, nor a statement. This is another missed
opportunity, and both Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia are responsible
for this shortcoming," he said.
The expert drew attention to the fact that the first document using the
term "occupied" territories, with respect to the liberated territories
of Karabakh, appeared in the UN. Giragosian considers it is a failure
of the Armenian diplomacy, saying it has not become a lesson for
Armenia. Its actions in the UN remain inactive and inert.
The fact that Azerbaijan can push through a resolution on situation
in the UN countries in the General Assembly's agenda is a result of
lack of initiative.
According to Giragosian, "Armenia's representative to the UN is a
man whom no one has ever heard or seen in action."
