The draft resolution entitled “Situation in the ‘occupied territories’
of Azerbaijan” has been again removed from agenda of UN General
Assembly at the request of Baku.
According to Turan’s diplomatic sources, voting was scheduled for Dec
12, but the Azerbaijani party considered it inexpedient discussing the
draft resolution at present. At the same time, Azerbaijani diplomats in
New York refuse to comment on the given issue. One can suppose that the
OSCE Minsk Group co- chairs, who are against discussion of the issue
outside the OSCE MG, have exerted certain pressure on official Baku.
The draft resolutions entitles “Situation in the ‘occupied territories’
of Azerbaijan” and “Frozen conflicts in the territory of GUAM and
their influence on the international peace, security and development”
were to be put on UN GA agenda yet last year. Later, they were removed
from agenda at the request of Azerbaijan. Even if the documents are
put on agenda finally, the OSCE MG co-chair-states – USA, Russia and
France, will sure vote against both the documents.
Previous the co-chair-states voted against the UN resolution
saying that the Karabakh conflict must be resolved in line with the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
