The UN Resolution In Azerbaijan

THE Croydonian notes:Azerbaijan has persuaded the UN to pass a resolution “reaffirm[ing] Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, expressing support for that country’s internationally recognized borders and demanding the immediate withdrawal of all Armenian forces from all occupied territories there“.

Given recent events in Serbia / Kosovo, it is intriguing to note that some countries are quite happy to dismember Serbia in pursuit of self-determination for Albanians but will not extend the same principle to the Armenians of Artsakh. So, here are the states which have recognised Kosova but have also signed the Azeri motion:

Afghanistan
Bangladesh
Kuwait
Malaysia
Morocco
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Senegal
Serbia
Turkey

Meanwhile, all credit to the unlikely list of refuseniks: Angola, Armenia, France, India, Russian Federation, United States, Vanuatu. Our man in NY abstained.

I agree after looking at the MAP an reading the history of the Karabakh, it’s part of Azerbaijan, so get the other lot out

Message to funi azairyresolution.

Have you seen UN map of Azerbaijan? If yes, then you should have no any doubt that territory of Nagorno Karabakh (Part of Karabakh region) is in the range of recognised Azerbaijani borders. This territory has been populated by Azerbaijani and Armenian people. However after the ethnic cleansing conducted by military forces of Armenian all Azerbaijani population ( one million ) has been displaced from the region.
