Baku will fail to use the UN Security Council tribune against the OSCE
Minsk Group that is in charge of the Karabakh conflict's resolution
and resolve the conflict within its own interests. Richard Giragosian,
Head of the Center for Regional Studies, made such statement in an
interview with ArmInfo.
Azerbaijan, a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, will
assume the chairmanship of the Security Council in May. Chairs of the
Security Council are changed every month in the alphabetical order. A
chair-country's activity is often carried out behind-the-scenes in
consultations with 15 member-countries, particularly, five permanent
member-states: Great Britain, China, France, Russia and the USA.
These countries have a right to veto any suggestions or initiatives.
Baku will, indeed, try to use the UN Security Council tribune to
resolve the Karabakh conflict, but it will fail to disharmonize the
OSCE MG and Security Council because other members of the Security
Council will prevent such developments, undoubtedly, Giragosian said.
The analyst said that the Armenian authorities must be extremely
autious as Baku will preside over the Security Council starting May
1 and will use it as a place to make diplomatic attacks on Yerevan
and Stepanakert.
It is not yet clear how far Azerbaijan will go in its ideas related
to Nagorno-Karabakh. The UN Security Council chairmanship will, sure,
give it certain opportunities to influence the agenda of the Security
Council. The countries that previously tried to use their month-long
chairmanship of the Security Council to promote their own interests
not only suffered failures but also became quite unpopular at the
Council, which later affected their post-chairmanship operation at
the UN either.
