ArmInfo. Adoption of UN Resolution on Nagorno Karabakh, being
unfavourable for Armenia, is a failure of the Armenian diplomacy,
a political expert Alexander Manasyan said at today’s dispute in
"Mirror" club.
He said that it has been 18 years already the Armenian diplomacy
"silently" agrees with the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and does not respond to the initiatives of Azerbaijan. Meanwhile,
active counter-measures had to be taken just after coming of RA
President Robert Kocharyan’s administration to power in 1998. There
is a possibility for such measures and steps today as well, with
appearance of Kosovo precedent, for example, set the issue of
legitimacy of Azerbaijan’s borders. "There is no tragedy in adoption
of UN Resolution from March 14, however, it would be better not to
adopt it", Manasyan said.
For his part, a political expert Manvel Sargsyan said that by its
actions, Azerbaijan tries to respond to the threat, apparent for
it, in the form of appearance of Kosovo precedent. The actions of
Baku are aimed, first of all, at changing the whole international
atmosphere around the problem of Karabakh conflict settlement. The
Armenian party takes nothing in response, limited only to periodical
threats to recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh. "We always have
a chance to take some counter-measures, however, we never take any
steps, trying to maintain the status-quo, that is harmful for us",
the political expert said.
