Nagorno-Karabakh and the energy security of the EU were two of
the main topics at the 50th Munich Security Conference. Political
analyst Rovshan Ibragimov says that the foreign policy of Azerbaijan
has diversified in the past years. He notes that it was a temporary
member of the UNSC until 2014, adding that Azerbaijan is one of the
key components of European energy security.
The expert notes that Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov
met OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier, US Assistant Secretary of
State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland, the foreign
minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a representative of Germany's
ZDF. Ibragimov says that Azerbaijan diversifies state, political and
economic contacts with public diplomacy.
He expresses optimism about settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The expert points out that the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign
ministers achieved no success at talks in Paris, though negotiations
renewed. A presidential meeting is planned.
Ibragimov concluded that the Munich Conference was a platform where
Azerbaijan wanted to participate as a subject of interregional and
global political processes.
