INITIATIVE ON DISCUSSING "SEIZED AZERI TERRITORIES" IN UN - BAKU'S RECURRENT PLOTS, KARABAKH POLITICAL SCIENTIST CONSIDERS

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Baku's initiative on discussing "seized Azeri territories" in UN - recurrent political intrigues", Karabakh political scientist David Babaian stated when commenting to Regnum news agency on Azerbaijan's initiative to put the item on "The situation in the Azeri seized territories" on the agenda of the UN General Assembly. In his words, "the inclusion of the item on territories in the UN General Assembly agenda is the issue of internal and foreign policy importance for Azerbaijan". Once again stirring the society with the Karabakh issue is the most effective and sometimes the only mechanism to consolidate the power of the new Azeri administration, which is striving for it", the political scientist said. As for the foreign policy, in Babaian's opinion, the Apsheron Archipelago hopes that in case the Assembly takes favorable for Azerbaijan decision on the issue, Azerbaijan can publicly claim the liberation of the territories. As the analyst noted the resolutions of the General Assembly are bearing recommendation nature and consequently cannot be decisive for the political future of the territories, which "comprise the security zone for the Nagorno Karabakh Republic". "Recommendation character have also four resolutions of the UN Security Council. Besides, the UN resolutions are classifying the forces, which keep under control some Azeri regions as "local Armenian forces", thus denying the accusations of official Baku on the occupation of the regions by the Republic of Armenia.
