YEREVAN, JULY 25, ARMENPRESS: Armenia has condemned today Azerbaijan's
efforts to take the Nagorno-Karabakh case to the UN General Assembly's
session, saying through a foreign ministry spokesman that every effort
to disrupt the work of the OSCE Minsk Group, the sole international
body mandated to help the sides find a solution to their dispute,
will affect the entire process of seeking a peaceful settlement of
the conflict.
Vladimir Karapetian, a spokesman of the foreign ministry, retaliated
to media reports quoting Novruz Mamedov, an Azeri presidential advisor
on foreign policy, as saying on Monday that his country will appoint
a delegation to the 62nd UN General Assembly only after the issue of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution is placed on its agenda.
Viktor Karapetian recalled that the previous 61-st session of the
UN General Assembly had two Nagorno-Karabakh related items, one
submitted by Azerbaijan and the other by GUAM (Georgia, Ukraine,
Azerbaijan and Moldova), but none had been discussed.
He said under the UN procedure these items are incorporated into
General Assembly's next session.
Mr. Karapetian also added that the General Assembly's agenda is to
be approved by a special resolution, which can be questioned by any
of the UN member countries. H also said incorporation of Karabakh
related items on the UN agenda does not necessarily mean they will
be put to debates.
