[Presenter] Baku disagrees with the statement by the Russian
co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group, Yuriy Merzlyakov, that there is
no need to raise the issue of frozen conflicts at the UN General
Assembly. The head of the foreign relations department at the
[Azerbaijani] presidential administration, Novruz Mammadov, has said
the following. [Mammadov, speaking to journalists] Perhaps, the
Russian co-chairman expressed his personal position on the issue. We
disagree with this. We think that the situation in areas with frozen
conflicts must be discussed at a UN plenary session. We have been
trying to ensure this and included the issue on our agenda. Therefore,
we cannot accept Merzlyakov's proposal. We think that we should take
advantage of any discussions by any organization which will help
resolve the conflict.
