    OSCE mediator sees UN debates on Karabakh as Azerbaijan's "mistake"

    Azadliq, Baku
    1 Dec 04


    Text of unattributed report by Azerbaijani newspaper Azadliq on 1
    December headlined "The Minsk Group blames Azerbaijan for making a
    mistake" and subheaded "Yuriy Merzlyakov explains his opinion by
    Azerbaijan's refusal to accept the suggested resolution"

    The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairman from Russia, Yuriy Merzlyakov, has
    clarified some issues about the details of the resolution on Nagornyy
    Karabakh submitted to the UN General Assembly for discussion on 23
    November. It became known that the co-chairmen [from the USA, France
    and Russia] who failed to prevent the discussions attempted to include
    an alternative resolution in the agenda of the UN General Assembly.

    However, official Baku opposed this demand.

    "We submitted an alternative resolution to Azerbaijan four days before
    the UN General Assembly discussions. Disagreeing with this, Foreign
    Minister Elmar Mammadyarov insisted that the resolution submitted by
    Azerbaijan should be put on the agenda. However, Azerbaijan did not
    admit that it made a mistake by submitting its resolution for
    discussion," he said.

    Saying that the meeting was confidential, Merzlyakov declined to
    disclose the content of the draft they had put forward. The
    Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry did not declare either which resolution
    the talk was about.

    The head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry press service, Matin
    Mirza, said that there could be a certain resolution which Merzlyakov
    spoke about. However, this proposal was unofficial.
