Azerbaijan’s withdrawing its resolution from the agenda of the 64th session of the U.N. General Assembly was the result of the OSCE Minsk Group’s well-organized work. The OSCE MG did not want the Nagorno-Karabakh issue to be shifted to any other international institution, Director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan told reporters.

In submitting such resolutions to international institutions, Azerbaijan does not pursue any practical aims - such documents are mostly advisory ones. “This is just Azerbaijan’s way of launching its propaganda activities,” the expert said. In this last case, Azerbaijan submitted its resolution to the U.N. for domestic reasons – the forthcoming parliamentary elections.

Commenting on the popular opinion that Armenia should follow Azerbaijan’s example in propaganda, Iskandaryan said: “I do not think Yerevan should follow Baku’s example, as Azerbaijan is pursuing a policy typical of a loser-country.” 

He disagrees with a number of politicians who say a crucial decision on Nagorno-Karabakh will be made at the OSCE Summit to be held in Astana.
