Azerbaijan's political experts comment on diplomatic pressure on Armenia

"Discussions will be useful as a means of exerting pressure on Armenia. After the recent discussions at the UN on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia's mood is not the same. It feels isolated," political expert Rasim Musabayov said.

He said continuation of the diplomatic pressure on Armenia is too important for Azerbaijan. "Although the UN resolutions will not make Armenia liberate the occupied territories, it will constantly feel such pressure," Musabayov said.

The 64th UN General Assembly will debate two issues on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Political expert Zardusht Alizade said discussions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the UN General Assembly is a positive factor.

"But discussions are not enough to solve the problem. The discussions must be accompanied by effective measures to build army, peaceful diplomacy and effective information war. These measures should be implemented in its entirety. The most important of these is to continue to build a democratic society in Azerbaijan capable to solve problems of all citizens," Alizade said.

He said the steps taken towards the restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity yield fruits. "If the problem cannot be solved by means of pressure, at least it is constantly debated in society. Aggressor Armenia always feels Azerbaijan's intensification on the diplomatic arena," Alizade said.

Regarding non-fulfillment of four UN resolutions on the conflict, the political expert said the force is necessary to implement the provisions of those resolutions. "Without force, these resolutions are only political in nature. Their implementation is not obligatory," Alizade said.

Political expert Vafa Guluzadeh does not expect progress after the UN discussions on the Nagorno-Karabakh to resolve the issue. "The UN four resolutions on this issue remain on paper. Even after the discussions UN takes any decision, no steps will be taken to implement it," Guluzade said.

He believes Armenia is a Russian "province" and does not exist as the state. "As the UN fears Russia, it does not pass decisions on this country. Therefore, we should wait," the political analyst said.
