AZERBAIJAN TRYING TO REMOVE RUSSIA, U.S. AND FRANCE FROM OSCE MG
- The Azerbaijani authorities undertook to address a task which is quite obviously beyond their sole competence, Head of the Institute for National Strategic Studies of the MoD, Doctor of Political Sciences, Major General Hayk Kotanjian said in an interview with the press center of the RA Ministry of Defense. “By their actions they are trying to persuade the international community that the application of common principle of respect towards Armenians of Karabakh based on the human rights and freedoms registered in the UN Charter as a universal norm is purely their own internal business. They aim at disavowing the OSCE Minsk Group and removing Russia, the U.S. and France from the MG in connection with their systemic approaches to the application of the norms and principles of International law on the Karabakh conflict resolution,” he said. “The point is that the Baku politicians are trying to impose their own opportunistic-local interpretation of the international law concerning the settlement and resolution of the Karabakh issue. And they are doing it with presumption of “lawmakers and indisputable interpreters” of international law not only domestically but also before the international auditoria. The head of the neighboring state, as well as the MFA officials in their statements on the Baku authorities’ commitments to the conflict resolution in “strict conformity with the international law”, persistently parallel this very conformity with only one of the common norms of the International law-the principle of territorial integrity and ignoring the other norms applied when dealing with the problems like that of Karabakh. In this context the ignorance of the principle of peoples’ equality and their right to self-determination is of strictly manipulative nature. This unilateral approach by Baku to the norms of International law cannot be of serious influence upon the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs’ expert position,” the Major General said.
