MP Aydin Mirzazade, a member of the Political Board of the New Azerbaijan Party (NAP), as well as Vice Chairman of the Parliamentary Commission on Defense and Security, said that the Armenians will be the main focus of the world community should the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict be discussed at the UN General Assembly. He was commenting on an appeal to the UN General Assembly by the member-states of GUAM, a regional organization consisting of Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova.
The appeal is for the inclusion of an issue on unresolved conflicts in the territory of GUAM to an agenda of the 61st session of UN.
Mirzazade said that it is a serious political step. Three of the four member-states of GUAM face the problem of violation of its territorial integrity. Georgia cannot control over two independent establishments, part of the country in Moldova is under the control of a separatist regime, while part of the Azerbaijan territory has been occupied by Armenia. It is interesting that Armenia tries to establish the occupation of the Azerbaijani territory through ridiculous arguments, he stressed.
There are big opportunities for this issue to be considered at the UN General Assembly. Should this happen, the world community will focus on separatism existing in the newly indent countries. Unless the process is prevented it can spread like a virus to other regions of the world, including Europe. The whole world, and not only the four countries, should fight against this problem. The principle of territorial integrity is one of major factors of stability in the region. It gained importance after World War II, Mirzazade said.
He shared the opinion that the UN does not possess a mechanism of impact, but only a tribune. Discussion of any issue from this tribune can become a powerful tool of diplomatic and political influence. First, they will firstly discus separatism, and secondly, Armenia will become the focus of world community, he stated.
