The withdrawal of the Azerbaijan-submitted resolution from the agenda of the 64th session of the U.N. General Assembly is Yerevan’s diplomatic victory, a result of long-term and effective work with the international community, Vice-Speaker of the RA Parliament Samvel Nikoyan told NEWS.am.

The world actually showed Azerbaijan that the OSCE Minsk Group has no alternative as far as the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process is concerned. “In fact, the international community gave Azerbaijan to understand that its attempts to shift the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process outside the OSCE Minsk Group are doomed to failure,” Nikoyan said. As to official Baku’s statements that Azerbaijan withdrew the document for humanistic reasons, it is just their attempt to conceal their defeat. “Azerbaijan withdrew the document from the session agenda as it was aware it would be voted down,” Nikoyan said. He is not so optimistic considering Azerbaijan’s regular military statements.

On September 9, Azerbaijan withdrew its resolution on occupied territories from the agenda of the 64th session of the U.N. General Assembly.
