Azerbaijan losing sense of realityMarch 20, 2008 - 18:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "Judging from the official statements made by Russia, the USA and France before and after the General Assembly, they voted against the resolution, because the Azerbaijan's project contradicted, firstly, the common fundamental principles and norms of the International law, as well as the criterion of the international legitimacy of their application. Secondly, the conduct of Azerbaijan does not coincide with the balanced approach of the Minsk Group which endorses the solution of the Karabakh conflict within the norms of the international law. 100 abstained members of the UN virtually demonstrated their understanding of the balanced position of Russia, the U.S. and France," Head of the Institute for National Strategic Studies of the MoD, Doctor of Political Sciences, Major General Hayk Kotanjian said in an interview with the press center of the RA Ministry of Defense. "39 UN member states, which supported the resolution, were mostly represented by the Organization of Islamic Conference and the GUAM. Azerbaijan perceives the designated to its role in the European Energy policy as a "historical" mission of geo-economic and geo-strategic importance to compete with Russia. Playing on the strategic interests of the EU, the U.S., Russia, Iran, Turkey and Central Asia, Baku is trying to at most bid for highest stakes in this way to use this resource for illegal forcing through its interests in the Karabakh settlement. In pursuit of these purposes Azerbaijan will now allow itself to blackmail Russia, the U.S., France and the Minsk Group on the whole. Many international observers Azerbaijan is losing the sense of reality," he said.
