Azerbaijan mocking OSCE MG, UN and international community

Baku urges OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to take more efforts in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

“Not only OSCE MG but also UN Security Council must intensify their efforts for the settlement of the conflict,” the head of presidential administration of Azerbaijan Elnur Aslanov told a news conference, calling the issue of UN SC’s indifference to earlier adopted resolutions to the international community’s attention.

It would be ridiculous to try and comment on Azeri statements. It’s enough to remind Baku’s ignoring OSCE MG’s calls to adhere to ceasefire, pull snipers from the line of contact, work out mechanisms of investigation of incidents at front line.

Baku is undermining Karabakh settlement talks, with constant threats of a new war, while purchasing and manufacturing enormous amounts of weaponry, openly neglecting international norms.

Azerbaijan would do well to remember that UN resolutions Azeri politicians so often remind about are purely advisory, with Baku itself violating them from day one.

So it turns out that Azerbaijan is simply mocking OSCE MG, UN and the whole international community, and has been doing so with complete impunity.
