/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The UN GA resolution has revealed real
psycho-emotional condition of GUAM member states – Georgia, Ukraine,
Azerbaijan and Moldova. As a matter of fact, this was a reaction to
Duma’s decision on Abkhazia and South Ossetia, said Arayik Stepanyan,
chairman of the Saint Petersburg Association of Political Scientists,
corresponding member of the Academy of Geopolitical Studies.
"Azerbaijan decided to pass ahead to prevent recognition of Nagorno
Karabakh’s independence. All GUAM member states can lose a part of
their territory," he said.
According to Stepanyan, territorial issues are not resolved by states
like GUAM. "Re-division is the prerogative of world powers, which will
never let small countries struggling for their territorial integrity
to act independently. Russia and U.S. will themselves agree on the
status of Nagorno Karabakh," the expert said, Russkaya Liniya reports.
On March 14, with 39 votes in favor, 7 against and 100 abstentions,
the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution "On the situation on
the occupied territories of Azerbaijan."
