Ariel Cohen: Azerbaijan’s election as UNSC non-permanent member is Azerbaijani diplomacy’s achievement

Azerbaijan's election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2012-2013 is a much deserved recognition for a country which regained its independence and unique character as a bridge between East and West, and North and South, the leading expert of the Heritage Foundation for Russian and Eurasian Studies and International Energy Policy, member of Trend Expert Council believes.

"Azerbaijan is a country that will be much better known now as it contributes to the questions of preventing war and securing peace," Ariel Cohen said. Despite all the difficulties, this is also a great achievement for the Azerbaijani diplomatic team headed so capably by Foreign Minister Mammadyarov, he added.

"In a tough fight, Azeri diplomacy demnostrated that it came of age," Cohen said.

Azerbaijan became a non-permanent UNSC member for the first time.
