UN VOTE OUTCOMES PROVE BAKU’S DEFECTIVE POSITION IN KARABAKH ISSUE

Russia, U.S. and France’s opposition to the Azerbaijan-initiated UN resolution along with 100 abstentions testifies of inadmissibility of violation of the fundamental principles and norms of the international law, said Major General Hayk Kotanjian, Head of the Institute for National Strategic Studies, Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Armenia. “Azerbaijan and its 37 supporters were taught a good lesson. Documents conflicting with international norms, like unilateral mention of territorial integrity and complete neglect of the right of peoples to self-determination (which is fixed by the UN regulations as one of its fundamental goals), can’t be admitted by the United Nations Organization,” he said. The Major General noted that the results of the vote convey an important message about inadmissibility of adoption of resolutions violating the UN regulations and its major goals – maintenance of peace and international security. “The vote result is the evidence of Baku’s defective position on the Karabakh settlement. Imposition of counterproductive model of Karabakh conflict resolution in the framework of what Azerbaijan calls “territorial integrity” puts the UN in an awkward position. Opposition of the world powers confirmed the UN mission of preserving international peace.” “Neglect of UN imperatives, exceeding of CFE armament norms and increasing militaristic rhetoric by Azerbaijan signalize of the threat to peace in the Black Sea basin. Russia, U.S. and France alerted the international community about Baku’s intention to wage a new war in the region,” he said, adding that the OSCE Minsk Group has not exhausted its potential yet, the RA MoD press office reported.
