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.
