U.S. ex-ambassador says most UN resolutions are ignored
25 August 2014 - 12:35pm
U.S. ex-Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza told Vestnik Kavkaza
that most resolutions of the UN Security Council were unfulfilled. He
noted that the resolutions passed on Nagorno-Karabakh between 30 April
and 12 November 1993 had not been realized because organizations of
Armenian diasporas, such as the Armenian National Congress in the
U.S., started a campaign to depict Azerbaijan as the aggressor and
Armenia as the victim.
The diplomat noted that the OSCE Minsk Group played its part in
slowing the implementation of the resolutions. He reminded that the
UNSC resolutions on Libya and Iraq were initiatives by the U.S. and
France, not the UN itself. In the case of Nagorno-Karabakh, the U.S.,
France and Russia are interrelated within the framework of the OSCE
Minsk Group and have a responsibility to fulfil the resolutions.
Bryza said that the U.S. was not insisting on fulfilling the
resolutions or withdrawal of forces from the conflict zone. The U.S.,
in his words, expects their fulfillment as soon as the conflict is
solved within the Minsk Group framework. Bryza believes that President
Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry should take part in the
dialogue personally to help resolve the conflict.
