Vahan Dilanyan: Azerbaijani Foreign Minister unaware that UN resolutions are non-bindingJanuary 25, 2011 - 12:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov’s statement about provision of Nagorno Karabakh with the widest autonomy is nonsense, an Armenian expert said. “The status of Nagorno Karabakh is not discussed because the people of NKR voted for independence back in 1991,” Chairman at Political Developments Research Centre Vahan Dilanyan said. “Mammadyarov complains that Armenia does not fulfill the UN resolutions. It’s regrettable that a graduate of Kyiv Institute of International Relations, a diplomat who has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than 20 years is unaware that UN resolutions are non-binding. It’s also lamentable that Mammadyarov does not discern the difference between the Armenian armed forces and NKR defense army. Urging NKR to withdraw its troops from its own territory is at least illogical,” he said.
