    UN Security Council seat to open 'new chapter' for Baku's diplomacy
    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."
