Fri 06 January 2012 10:53 GMT | 12:53 Local Time
Azerbaijan has started its two-year term as a non-permanent member of
the UN Security Council.
"The start of work as a member of the UN Security Council officially
enables Azerbaijan to make its voice heard on a global scale. Now
Azerbaijan will have its say in global political, economic, cultural
and other projects," Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman
Abdullayev has said.
Abdullayev said that Azerbaijan had proved its commitment to the
peacekeeping mission in Iraq, Kosovo and Afghanistan and had gained
diplomatic experience.
He said that membership of the UN Security Council would open a new
chapter in Azerbaijani diplomacy and enable the country to use its
experience on a global scale.
"Of course, Azerbaijan will also make achievements in its own
interests within these processes. Several projects are envisaged
during our membership. We will chair the Council twice according to
alphabetical order during the two-year membership which officially
began on 1 January 2012.
"This means that we will play a leading role in bringing certain
issues forward at the Security Council. These will naturally include
conflicts in our region and especially the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
