Azerbaijan uses Islamic solidarity in its own interestsJuly 11, 2008 - 15:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan uses the factor of Islamic solidarity in its own interests, said Armenia's Ambassador to Kuwait."The Azerbaijani-imitated resolution that was adopted by the UN General Assembly is a direct evidence of this," Ambassador Vahagn Melikyan (residence in Abu-Dhabi) said at a meeting with Foreign Minister of Kuwait, Dr. Muhammad Al-Sabah. "One-sided resolutions do not contribute to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict but can tense the situation and be used by Azerbaijan as a trump card in its warlike position," he said. On March 14, 2008, with a vote 39 to 7 and 100 abstentions, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution on Nagorno Karabakh urging "immediate withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan." For his part, Dr. Al-Sabah said his country wants a resolution for the Karabakh problem via peaceful talks and in compliance with the norms of international law. The officials also referred to organization of a visit of Armenian President to Kuwait.
