Does the USA blackmails Azerbaijan?
Foreign Ministryof Azerbaijan made a request to the OSCE Permanent Council that the Baku OSCE Office be designated as the “project coordinator”. Azerbaijan, as a member of the organization, has the right to make such appeal, said Mammadyarov, commenting on Baku’s appeal.
“However, “some states” violate the consensus on this issue. complained Honestly, I cannot understand. Some countries have sent us a message that will not give a consensus. This is unacceptable blackmail. Every state-member of the OSCE has its rights. Each state, the member of OSCE can take a decision on the status of the OSCE in the country”, – stated Mammadyarov.
A month ago, the U.S. permanent representative to the OSCE, Harry Robins, made a statement at the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna, in which he made it clear that Washington does not share the plans to change the mandate of the OSCE Office in Baku.
It is really, each state-member of the OSCE has its rights, however, it should not forget about its obligations.
