Armenia's voting against the resolution of UN General Assembly on Abkhazia regarded as "Armenian response" to Georgia for its support to Azerbaijan on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

"One need not to be a political scientist to comment on the resolution, adopted by the UN General Assembly for support of the rights of refugees and internally displaced persons to return to their houses in Abkhazia, as differences between official Moscow and Tbilisi on the resolution of the Georgian-Abkhaz and Georgian-South-Ossetian conflicts, are well known".

The due announcement was made by famous political scientist Ilgar Mamedov, commenting on the resolution of the UN General Assembly in support of the right of refugees and internally displaced persons to return to their homes in Abkhazia.

"On the whole, I can say that the said resolution of the UN General Assembly is an important document, allowing Georgia to get support of the world society to their legal demands on the resolution of territorial conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. At the same time, Russia, which spoke against the adoption of the said resolution, once more demonstrated its destructive role in the fair resolution of the Georgian-Abkhaz and Georgian-South-Ossetian conflicts", said Mamedov.

"Armenia's voting against the said resolution was the most important event in this issue. I think this is a kind of "Armenian response" to Georgia for the latter's support to Azerbaijan during the voting in the UN General Assembly on Azerbaijan", the political scientist considers.

"But Armenia's step deepens its isolation in the South Caucasus region and reduces its role as an independent actor in our region. Yes, the resolution of the UN General Assembly is not mandatory for execution, but it demonstrates the attitude of the world society to the ways of resolution of any conflicts.

In this case this resolution reflects insistence of Georgia, awareness of the world society of the fairness of its position, based on international law, and weakening of positions of Russia and its satellites, in particular, Armenia, in the resolution of the conflicts in the South Caucasus. This affects Russia's interests, which considers itself to be a powerful state, able to influence the world processes.

Here, the adoption of the second successive resolution of the UN General Assembly (the first one was on Azerbaijan and ways of resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict), which demonstrates that the world society chooses the territorial integrity of the countries during the resolution of territorial conflicts and deprives Russia of the chance to impose its view of the ways of resolution of territorial conflicts in the South Caucasus on the countries of our region, is obvious.

"Certainly, the final solution of the conflicts in the region does not depend on these resolutions, but they fill Azerbaijani and Georgian sides with optimism in their striving for the peaceful resolution of existing conflicts both in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and Nagorno Karabakh", said Ilgar Mamedov.
