Yerevan Not Troubled by Azeri Seat on UN Security Council

Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian

YEREVAN—Official Yerevan in not troubled by a recent vote granting Azerbaijan a non-permanent seat on the United States Security Council, said Foreign Minister Nalbandian while answering questions at the National Assembly Thursday. He said Armenian will continue its policy on the Karabakh conflict resolution process without “nervous convulsions.”
According to an official read out of the minister’s Q&A session at parliament, Nalbandian also said the leaders of the co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group—France, Russia and the US—who are permanent members of the UN Security Council have ruled out any UN involvement in the Karabakh peace process.
He pointed to three consecutive announcements, the latest of which came after the Kazan, Russia meeting in June, where presidents Barack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy and Dmitry Medvedev reiterated that the Karabakh peace process could only be resolved under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group.
Nalbandian was referring to statements emanating from Baku that now that Azerbaijan hold a seat on the Security Council the aim is to move the Karabakh peace process to the United Nations.
“I think there is concrete response given to this and there is no need to get emotional over statements coming from Azerbaijan,” said Nalbandian.
Citing announcements from the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen regarding the current state of the Karabakh peace process, Nalbandian said that Azerbaijan has backed itself into a corner given the statements by the international community, which correlate with the policies of Armenia.
Not all lawmakers agreed with this approach. Armen Rustamian, chairman of the Parliament’s standing committee of foreign affairs and a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation parliamentary bloc, rejected Nalbandian’s arguments.
“I absolutely don’t share the view that we must not react emotionally to Azerbaijan becoming a non-permanent member of the Security Council,” Rusamian told journalists, as reported by RFE/RL. “That is not an adequate response to the situation.”

    I hope Armen Rus(t?)amian was misquoted there or that at least the translation is wrong. Because right now it looks like if he said ” We must react emotionally.” which is a retarded statement.

    ‎ Armenia has almost no foreign policy – acting and reacting are to different issues! ‎
    I would recommend our FM at least to hand every foreign official visiting Armenia to hand a ‎copy of first Armenian constitution adopted in Karabakh for 1500 years ago !‎
    The administration of Serzh Sarkisian is busy one again with “job rotation”- and PM sees ‎forced immigration an effective way to fight unemployment and injustice and poverty in the ‎country
    One again Speaker of Parliament ( second after President) being replace one again so easy as ‎one use to change his underwear … the newcomers are all ready to serve the president instead ‎of the country and our national interests ! ‎
    ‎ The question is when the “job rotation” will reach FM and even to Etjmiazin ?‎
    Azerbaijani officials by refusing to allow a Russian Armenian to board a flight to Baku ‎simply for being of Armenian origin are practicing openly racism. ‎
    Our officials in Armenian Foreign Minister should better issue a statement by speking openly ‎of Nazi like racism to condom the Nazi like anti Armenian propaganda of officials in Baku- ‎Officials in our Foreign Minister are remaining always silence or are simply to late! And I ‎would recommend that Armenian FM and our defiance Minster to not make statements ‎regarding karabakh instead of the officials in Stepanakert by such wrong policy Armenia ‎becoming the only party to the conflict!‎

    The biggest achievement of Armenian FM (both Administration of Sarkisian and Kocharian ) ‎was so far : They made Armenia a full party to the conflict – In this regard the policy ‎pursued by Armenia did play in the hand of Azerbaijan!- which de facto managed to ‎neutralize involvement of Karabkah with the help of Armenia (visits of OSCE-MG to ‎Karabakh are merly are symbolic!)! The only think which troubles Baku so much is the cease-‎fire regime signed with Karabakh defence army in 90´s- Which Baku is trying to find ways to ‎get ride of this official document! ‎

    Karabakh/Arstakh should have its own are force! ‎
    Karabakh should start to build a highway to Iranian border similar to “Mehgri -Goris” one! ‎
    ‎ ‎
    Beside this NKR (being united with Armenia) should start conducting more and more ‎aggressively its own foreign policy- ‎
    NKTR should bring to the attention of the world that the first democratic constitution of ‎Armenia being adopted by and in Arstakh for 1500 years a go! At that time there were no ‎Turkish nomads in and around Arstakh
    Anti Armenian and Anti Karabakh propaganda of Azerbaijan could be used against ‎Azerbaijan itself, as soon as NKR become active Azerbaijani officials will start thinking twice ‎before making any move against NKR! Armenia should only forward the statements of NKR ‎to international organizations on behalf of NKR and so on . ‎
    The world should be remind again and again that UN-SC and world community, journalist t,, ‎media that Baku has signed a cease-fire regime with Stepanaker itself! ‎

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
