Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan
Elmar Mammadyarov has announced the program of the country’s 2-year
non-permanent membership in UNO Security Council.

Today in Baku E. Mammadyarov has reported that within membership in
the Council Azerbaijan will twice preside at its meetings- May and
September 2012.

” Non-permanent membership in Security Council can positively reflect
peaceful solution of Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Garabagh conflict.

We will have a chance to draw support of other non-permanent members
as well as the Council’s 5 permanent members”,-E. Mammadyarov said.

He thinks it notable that Azerbaijan got its non-permanent membership
in the year of 20-year anniversary of independence restoration.

The country will start exercising its functions in UNO Security
Council on 1 January 2012.
