    DISCUSSION OF AZERI RESOLUTION PUT OFF AT U.N.

    The discussion of Azerbaijan's resolution on occupied territories at
    the U.S. General Assembly is to take place on September 9, the U.N.
    official website reports. The document was to have been discussed on
    September 7.

    Talking to NEWS.am, Vice-Speaker of the RA Parliament, RPA Board
    member Samvel Nikoyan pointed out that any forecasts concerning
    the documents are too early to make now. Votes on resolutions are
    often spontaneous at international institutions. "Many delegations
    do not even examine the document they vote on," Nikoyan said. He
    stressed that Azerbaijan will certainly try to enlist the support
    of the members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)
    - or have already done so. "These states' position is conditioned
    by their religious identity," Nikoyan said. The Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict is not a religious problem, but that of peoples' right to
    self-determination. "In this context, many of the OIC member-states
    were and are actively involved in recognizing the Palestinian and
    Kosovo peoples' right to self-determination. So it is not yet clear
    what will be the OIC member-states' final decision," Nikoyan said.

    Official Yerevan is doing its best to block the Azeri resolution
    at the U.N. "I must say, however, that the organization has adopted
    several resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh since 1992, but none of them
    was implemented. So the new one will only join the list of failed
    documents. But even in this case, the approval of one more resolution
    not in the Armenian side's favor is undesirable," Nikoyan said.

    The Azeri resolution points out the necessity for return of Azerbaijani
    refugees and the unacceptability of destruction of cultural monuments
    "in the occupied territories."
