Azerbaijanâ€™s Ambassador to Russia: OSCE Minsk Group finds themselves in dilemma

25 March 2008 09:10 (UTC +04:00)

Referring to Moldovan President Vladimir Voroninâ€™s statement that a solution to the Transdniester dispute through a mechanism of peace and mutual understanding within the territorial integrity of the country may be nearing, Polad Bulbuloghlu said this precedent, but not that of Kosovo, would be a key to the settlement of the other conflicts.
He added that Azerbaijan will resort to any possible options to achieve the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
Touching upon an Azerbaijan-authored recent resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly that calls for immediate, complete, and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian forces from all the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, Polad Bulbuloghlu noted that it is obviously known who put pressure on some countries to abstain in the voting.
â€œThe OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs (a three-member group of co-chairs from Russia, the United States and France working to lead to a peaceful resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia) put themselves in a difficult situation, by voting against the resolution. They violated the core principle of the mediation â€“ neutrality. How can they now mediate between to find a solution,â€ he added.
