Baku, Mar 22, 2008 (Asia Pulse Data Source via COMTEX) -- Majority of foreign experts consider the resolution The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan adopted by the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly as the Azerbaijan diplomacys greatest success achieved for recent years.
One of the Kremlin`s leading analysts, director of the Russian Political Researches Institute Sergey Markov regards that the resolution is the great victory of Azerbaijani diplomacy and a serious defeat of Armenia. According to him, the reason why USA, Russia and France voted against the resolution is that there is a strong Armenian Diaspora in those countries.
Echo Moskvy radio station anchor Jeyla Latynina said, West supported Armenia during the active phase of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. Azerbaijan was viewed as the country where Azerbaijan Turks and Asians live. However, Azerbaijan chose the way of peace, development and increasing of the GDP. The country did not want to lose its strategic position and started exporting Caspian petroleum in the difficult conditions. We can see that Azerbaijan, which has been concentrating on recovering its economy for the past ten years, has gained the image of a country surpassing Armenia. It is a very important stage.
Armenian press considers adoption of the resolution as the defeat for the Armenian diplomacy. Golos Armenii newspaper says that it is a dangerous precedent for Armenia. It claims that it appeared to be the failure of Armenian lobby.
Political scientist Alexander Karavayev said OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs must realize that Baku is not satisfied with their activity. They seem to be at stalemate.
Karavayev points out that official Baku gained important allies through GUAM and OIC.
