  • Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Azerbaijan: Part Three
    WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT tcg-31 INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Peter Bird Mart in I CWA/Cr ane-Roger s Foundat i on 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, N.H. 03755 Dear Peter, Here is the penultimate offering in my package about the political roller coaster in Azerbaijan in the Spring of 1992. It brings us through May and the presidential elections of June 7th. Once again, this epistle consists mainly of published and unpubi ished pr ess r epor t s, wit h some foot not es. Most o f t he dateline stories were filed (or at least designed to be filed) to the New York Times. All were ultimately conceived as a running history. The major exception to this is the quasi-introduction, which I drafted in mid-May as a separate ICWA offering. Then events ovet,-Jok me, and I have kind of grafted it on to the press reports (or vice versa). I don't think it is too incongruous, and certainly should set the stage for the 'stories.' As with Part Two--which was also a string of press reports with commentary--there will be a certain amount of repetition as a thene rolls over. I have ,:ut the most glaring repetitions, but not all--partially for sense and partially out of a sense of honesty: stories did not get written anew from top to bottom every day; cliches were recycled. Also, while I provided a number of pictures in Part Two (and as single portrait in Part One), Part Three is fairly packed with pi,itures due to the simple fact that I had a decent camera at my disposal.

  • A Lose-Lose Perspective for the Future of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia-Azerbaijan Relations
    GETTING TO KNOW NAGORNO-KARABAKH Rethinking-and-Changing: A Lose-Lose Perspective for the Future of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia-Azerbaijan Relations Francesco TRUPIA, PhD Postdoc Fellow at the University Centre of Excellence Interacting Minds, Societies and Environment (IMSErt) - Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń – Poland The ‘Second Karabakh War’ has arguably ended the oldest conflict of the post-Soviet region. Nevertheless, the aftermath of the latest military confrontation between the Artsakh Armenian forces and Azerbaijan has made very little room for peacebuilding. Six months after, Armenia and Azerbaijan’s civil societies continue to take antagonistic approaches to the post-2020 ‘Nagorno-Karabakh issue’, which remains far from being solved and properly settled down. At present, both conflictual positions show two connected yet different processes of negotiations and reconciliation1. While on the one hand the two Caucasian nations are struggling to maximise their opportunities that stemmed from the post-2020 status quo, on the other hand suspicious ideas and radical plots have been circulating and casting dark shadows on the future of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the South Caucasus. The recent crisis over the Syunik and Gegharkunik borderlands between Armenia and Azerbaijan, is here instructive for assessing the highly volatile scenario. As the title states, this essay attempts to provide a different perspective over the Nagorno-Karabakh rivalry through the lens of the ‘rethinking-and-changing’ approach rather than the old-fashioned paradigm of ‘forgiving-and-forgetting’. It is not here question the transition from warfare to peace scenario for overcoming the new status quo and avoiding new escalations. Conversely, this essay raises the following question: whom the current peacebuilding process is designed for? Hence, the choice to knowingly overlook the historical as well as latest military events in Nagorno-Karabakh has the scope of focusing on a future-oriented perspective of reconciliation.

  • General Assembly Security Council Sixty-Seventh Session Sixty-Seventh Year Agenda Items 34, 39 and 83
    United Nations A/67/507–S/2012/754 General Assembly Distr.: General 11 October 2012 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Sixty-seventh session Sixty-seventh year Agenda items 34, 39 and 83 Protracted conflicts in the GUAM area and their implications for international peace, security and development The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan The rule of law at the national and international levels Letter dated 9 October 2012 from the Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General In accordance with instructions received from the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan, I have the honour to inform you that the Republic of Armenia is taking steps to operate Khojaly Airport in, and illegally use the airspace over, the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan currently occupied by the Armenian armed forces. Recently, the Republic of Armenia, through its subordinate separatist regime in the occupied territory of Azerbaijan, has established the so-called “Artsakh Air Company” and manifested its intention to operate flights, including military ones, into and from Khojaly Airport (referred to by the Armenian side as “Stepanakert Airport”). Such attempts clearly display a manifest disregard for international law, undermine the peace process and aggravate regional security concerns. In its resolutions 822 (1993), 853 (1993), 874 (1993) and 884 (1993), adopted in response to the illegal use of force against Azerbaijan and the occupation of its territories, the Security Council reaffirmed both the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the inadmissibility of the use of force for the acquisition of territory.

It highlights the progress achieved so far in the implementation of specific Goals. The Government of Artsakh has employed an inclusive approach in elaborating the national review, touching upon challenges existing in several spheres, including good governance, poverty eradication, gender equality, education, environmental protection, access to facilities and services for disabled persons. The national review of Nagorno-Karabakh on implementation of the Goals reveals the political will and commitment of the Government of Artsakh to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into its domestic policy and reform agenda, despite serious security challenges and threats to the physical existence of its people emanating from Azerbaijan. We believe that this voluntary step will also contribute towards greater understanding of the issues related to Nagorno-Karabakh in line with the global commitment of leaving no one behind, as enshrined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
