18 March 2008 [18:58] - Today.Az
The adoption of the Baku-initiated resolution on the situation in Nagorno Karabakh by the UN General Assembly was a great success and at the same time has become a lesson for the OSCE Minsk Group.
The due announcement was made by MP Ganira Pashayeva.
She said the main point of this lesson became the fact that Azerbaijan will not make any concessions in the issues regarding the occupied lands, regardless of the position of the OSCE Minsk Group.
According to the deputy, the adoption of the resolution shows that Azerbaijan is capable to putting the document, disapproved by the OSCE Minsk Group, for discussion on a high level and to attain its adoption.
She said this became a signal for the Minsk group to be more unbiased in its activity.
"In line with the resolution, they will have to report to the General Assembly and present the results of their mediation. Moreover, due to the position during voting, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will have to rehabilitate before the Azerbaijani community", she said.
According to Pashayeva, the position of Iran which always recognized territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, is no less frustrating.
"Putting resolution for voting in the US General Assembly, can be called a test of sincerity, proposed by Azerbaijan. Owing to it, we were able to see, which country is sincere to us. It can be said that Minsk Group co-chairing countries, as well as Iran, Egypt, and such Turkic states as Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan did not pass the test on sincerity, proposed by Azerbaijan", she said.
Touching upon the position of Turkic states, the deputy noted that except for Turkey and Uzbekistan, others abstained for voting while Azerbaijan supports them in all issues.
"Azerbaijan supports Kazakhstan in the Council of Europe. Azerbaijan supported Kazakhstan in the issue of chairmanship in the OSCE in 2009. However, their position on the issue important for Azerbaijan can be assessed negatively, as there can be nothing more important for our country", the parliamentarian noted.
Moreover, she stressed disappointment with the position of a number of countries in this issue, including Romania, Poland and some other countries, including Baltic states and Israel, which have always been Azerbaijan's strategic partners.
She said despite that the resolution is a successful and important document for the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, as this issue has been introduced to the agenda of further discussions of the UN General Assembly.
"I think the countries which did not support principles of international law and Azerbaijan's fair position have time to think over it and undertake due steps next time during such voting. However, the voting on the resolution helped Azerbaijan to define its position on the issues of other countries. Azerbaijan will further be able to vote in the United Nations like other countries did on our resolution", she said.
