Azerbaijan’s MFA: Armenia’s attempt to instrumentalize UN Security Council in its campaign of blackmailing failed

“Armenia’s attempt to instrumentalize the UN Security Council in its campaign of blackmailing failed for yet another time. Such manipulation and exploitation of this august body by Armenia are not only counter-productive and utterly destructive in terms of taking forward the post-conflict normalization agenda,” according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting AzerTac, citing a statement by Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the discussions held at the UN Security Council on August 16, 2023.

“Azerbaijan hopes that it will be finally realized by Armenia that the way towards the solution lies in constructive engagement and good-faith implementation of international law, and commitments undertaken within this framework. As it was emphasized by numerous UN Security Council members the basis for peace and stability in the region is a recognition of sovereignty and territorial integrity both in words and deeds,” the ministry noted.
