  Edward Nalbandian: UNSC support for Azerbaijan may have repercussions September 7, 2011 - 15:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian shared his misapprehension over Azerbaijan's UN Security Council (UNSC) bid. “Since UN formation, establishment of peace and security has been the main responsibility of the Security Council. Accepting the candidature of a militaristic Azerbaijan for UNSC non-permanent membership may have negative repercussions,” Minister Nalbandian said at joint news conference with the new EU Special Representative (EUSR) for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia Philippe Lefort. “Support for Azerbaijan, which thrives on military rhetoric, won't be increasing UNSC authority,” the Foreign Minister stressed. Azerbaijan is a candidate for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council, allocated to the Group of Eastern European States, for the term 2012-2013. The elections will be held during the 66th session of the United Nations General Assembly in October 2011.
