Withdrawal of resolution cold shower to Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan’s withdrawal of its resolution from the UN General Assembly is Armenian diplomacy’s victory, Doctor of Historical Sciences Edgar Hovhannisyan told a press conference.

According to him, the reason why Azerbaijan withdrew the resolution is that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries refused to move the Nagorno Karabakh problem resolution to another platform.

“It is another cold shower for Azerbaijan,” expert said adding that taking advantage of Turkey’s chairmanship Baku will try to push through some resolution in UN Security Council, but it will be a failure again.

In return, member of the Public Council under the Defense Ministry, military expert David Jamalyan said that even if the resolution were kept on the UN General Assembly agenda, it would be a failure.

“I am convinced no state would vote for that document,” Jamalyan said. “However, Armenia still has much to do since Azerbaijan will keep its attempts to put into circulation term “occupant Armenia” in international politics.”

According to Jamalyan, Armenia should introduce term “occupied territories of NKR” into international politics. It is also important for a fact-finding mission to be launched in Artsakh, expert believes.
