MP: Azerbaijan’s election to UNSC is great victory

Azerbaijan as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council is a great victory and achievement, MP Ganira Pashayeva told press on Tuesday.

This will open up new opportunities for Azerbaijan, she said.

"The membership gives Azerbaijan the right to immediately include the issue on the violation of territorial integrity in the agenda of the UN Security Council," she said. This gives Azerbaijan an opportunity to submit the issue of non-fulfillment of the resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council directly to the Council's agenda. Thus, the Council will pay more attention to this issue."

Azerbaijan has become a non-permanent member of UN Security Council with a great advantage in the struggle with Hungary and Slovenia. It won the right to represent Eastern Europe in the UN Security Council, she added.

"The membership in the Council gives Azerbaijan the vote in peace and security," she said. "The country will have the opportunity of broader involvement in these issues."

This is a diplomatic victory, she said.
