Azerbaijan is in complete self-delusion, trying "to inveigle" the UNO into the resolution of the Karabakh ConflictThe UNO has displayed all its capacities in conflict resolution processes in Kosovo and Middle Eastern issues, practically having limited itself to useless declarations. On February 26 Azerbaijan introduced the UN General Assembly the project of the resolution on "the situation on the occupied territory of Azerbaijan", where Azerbaijan asked to confirm its territorial borders and rights over Nagorno-Karabakh. The voting on the resolution is scheduled on March 14. From the point of view of Azerbaijan the set date for the voting is very "successful", since Armenia is suffering inner political destabilization, Russia is concerned with the issues of the self-proclaimed CIS republics and the entire world is busy with the situation in Kosovo. March 13, 2008 PanARMENIAN.Net - According to the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanyan, Armenia is applying diplomatic efforts to prevent voting for this resolution. "We think that this step of Azerbaijan is initiated by the inner political situation in Armenia. True, Azerbaijan has all the rights to decide the date of the voting. Unfortunately if the resolution is passed, the president-elect of Armenia will be in a very unpleasant situation, and this will be the sign for Azerbaijan's intentions to change its strategy regarding the negotiations," said Oskanyan. Chair-countries of OSCE Minsk Group are also against the resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict regulation, and they try to convince Azerbaijan to cancel it. However Baku has decided to go till the end, being well aware that the OSCE Minsk Group doesn't approve the resolution and in fact is extremely against changing the course of Karabakh Conflict regulation. It is natural that the UN General Assembly doesn't and can't decide anything. The UNO has displayed all its capacities in conflict resolution processes in Kosovo and Middle Eastern issues, practically having limited itself to useless declarations. In this case Azerbaijan can be only satisfied with the fact that an Islamic state somewhere in the Southeastern Asia will vote in favor of the resolution, and that is not out of being totally familiar with the main point of the question, but either on the bases of pure Islamic solidarity. There is also another very important point; Azerbaijan has lately been speculating with its oil and gas even more. In this regard the West may promise Baku everything, but if it manages to come to a common agreement with Russia (and most probably this is what is going to happen), Azerbaijan may lose the battle. The truth is though, that this voting has one advantage for the Armenian party as well. The more countries are aware of the conflict, the better for us. The most important thing is that theses countries learn not the viewpoint of Azerbaijan, but that of Armenia. So it is necessary for Armenia to do what Azerbaijan does, which told the world about "the Armenian atrocities on the Turkic territories". The Armenian party thinks that this resolution put forward by Azerbaijan for the in the UNO is not needed and is not very timely. "It is necessary to emphasize, that the decision of the UN General Assembly has no legal effect and is not compulsory. Azerbaijan is well aware of this, however is still trying to continue the mission it has started," says Vartan Oskanyan. It is quite possible, that the resolution will be approved, and Baku will be proud of a recurrent victory of the Azeri diplomacy. If Azerbaijan wants to be in complete self-delusion, it has all the rights. However things can take a different direction as well, the world community knowing what such resolutions may lead to, will seriously take up the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh. It is hard to say who will benefit from this. In this regard it shouldn't be forgotten, that Nagorno-Karabakh, according to the editor of IWPR Tom De Vaal is not the first priority; he is more concerned with the Middle East, Afghanistan, Kosovo and other problems. "The West is very much concerned with the situation in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Kosovo. I may say without any hesitation, that now the West has neither human nor other resources to provide Karabakh's security," he said. He also mentioned that the renewal of the military actions from Azerbaijan will be nothing but a disaster. "Armenia has been preparing for this for many years, since Armenia has its plans. The diversion relating the pipelines shouldn't be excluded either. Even in the oil Market of Azerbaijan there is much panic. In fact I don't know of a war, where it ended the way the two parties would want," said the British expert.
