Resolving conflict in the Caucasus
I agree with Brenda Shaffer ("Righting a UN wrong," May
21, Opinion) that the United Nations has failed to "play a
constructive role in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
But the four UN resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh bear no relationship
to the current situation on the ground. They tried to deal with
some of the consequences of this conflict but ignored the root cause,
namely the arbitrary inclusion of Armenian-inhabited Nagorno-Karabakh
within Azerbaijan by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin in 1921. Those
UN resolutions, therefore, do not create a basis for resolution
of this conflict. more
