Baku strives to enlist support from UN Member States regarding the issue of "frozen conflicts"

PanARMENIAN.Net - It is called to convince particularly the population of Azerbaijan that the country's leaders put all the efforts for the regulation of Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict to their favor. It was not in vain that the Head of the Department of Foreign Relations of Azeri President's Executive Office Novruz Mamedov announced proudly; "Discussion of the issue of "frozen conflicts" on GUAM territory during the UN General Assembly speaks of the undeniable success in Azerbaijan's foreign policy."

By October 3, when the issue will be under discussion, the official Baku will strive to enlist support from different States. For instance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nepal Sahana Pradhan announced that his country will support Azerbaijan throughout the course of upcoming discussions of the issue of "frozen conflicts" on the territory of GUAM Member Countries on the 62nd session of UN General Assembly. Most likely in coming days the Faroe Islands, Bhutan and some other states included in the Organization of the Islamic Conference will join Nepal. Though it should be mentioned that among Islamic Countries there are some which, if not say support Armenia, at least co-operate with Russia, which is also against the above mentioned discussions. Once again Azerbaijan will try to mislead the World Community, this time together with Georgia and Moldova. GUAM Countries simply fuse conflicts with anti-Russian dispositions. It is clear that the Azeri Minister of Foreign Affairs will surely mention the "20% of the Azeri territory occupied by the Armenian Armed Forces and 1 million refugees"… Baku has no other argument, and it will never have.

Meanwhile the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanyan thinks that the adoption of the Resolution on "frozen" conflicts in post-Soviet areas will complicate the process of Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict regulation. "I must say I have the impression that the countries interested in the stabilization of the region of South Caucasus and of the process of Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict regulation, are negatively disposed towards the possible adoption of the Resolution on "frozen" conflicts in post-Soviet areas," mentioned the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs.

According to his words, GUAM Countries announce that the adoption of issue of the "frozen" conflicts has the only aim of introducing it to the UN Member States. "If these statements are true, what's the need of adopting any resolution, if just a discussion may be organized? During the meeting with the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York I informed him about the complications the adoption of the Resolution may lead to, introduced the Armenian viewpoint and what measures the Armenian side may take if the Resolution is adopted," underlined Oskanyan.

The First Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Yastrebchak of Transnistria Vladimir Yastrebchak also expressed his worry regarding the mentioned issue. "We understand that former metropolises try to impose their point of view to the World Community regarding self-defined States. Their aim is to take advantage of UN support up to the adoption of the UN sanction and gain mandate to carry out military operations. However, such arrangement of the issue, even if it is taken up to the UN, is clear not to contribute to any fair regulation in our countries. The will of the people of Transnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh mustn't be left ignored; it may have dangerous outcomes. Neither European Union, nor Russia or GUAM Countries are interested in conflicts stepping into a "less frozen" phase. We don't believe that local wars and conflicts are of any interest to the members of the World Community," said Yastrebchak.
