Armenia possesses enough power not to allow Azerbaijan into World Trade Organization

Azerbaijan hopes that the world community will impose certain sanctions on Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, excluding the possibility that the very sanctions may be imposed on him.

July 3, 2007
Armenia has been integrated into the World Trade Organization for three years only, so it is very untimely to make any conclusions about the Organization's influence on the country's economy. However on the international level today Armenia possesses enough efficient instruments to influence on Azerbaijan's fortune. As it is known, Azerbaijan has already submitted its application to be integrated into the Organization. According to WTO Charter for a country to be allowed to the Organization, absolute majority is needed, i.e. all the member countries must be "for".
