Ariel Cohen: `The US should strengthen efforts towards the settlement
of Nagorno Karabakh conflict'
Non-implementation of UN Security Council resolutions on Nagorno
Karabakh discussed in Washington
Baku-APA. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the first UN
Security Council resolution on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the
Jamestown Foundation, one of the leading research centers of
Washington, held an event entitled `The United Nations and the
Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict: Back to the Basics'. Azerbaijan's embassy
in the US told APA that Azerbaijan's Deputy Permanent Representative
to the United Nations Tofig Musayev and Senior Research Fellow of the
Heritage Foundation Ariel Cohen made speeches at the event moderated
by Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute Frederick Starr.
Making a speech on the International Legal Relevance and Significance
of the UN Security Council Resolutions, Tofig Musayev spoke about the
importance of compliance with the norms and principles of the
international law in terms of the maintenance of international peace
and security. Musayev said the fact that the four resolutions of the
UN Security Council demanding withdrawal of Armenian occupier troops
from Azerbaijan have not been implemented is the main factor impeding
the progress in the settlement of the conflict and also added that
Armenia's non-constructive position in the negotiations has no
international legal base.
Analyzing the settlement of the conflict in the context of
international forces, as well as regional realities, Senior Research
Fellow of the Heritage Foundation Ariel Cohen noted that as one of the
co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group, the US needs to strengthen efforts
towards this.
In his turn, Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute Frederick
Starr underlined the importance of new approaches for the restoration
of stability in the region and said that the future of the region
depends on mutual cooperation of each of the three countries.
