    UN: OSCE MG reaffirms support for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity
    02.05.2009 11:58 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE Minsk Group has declared support for
    Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, calling on its government for a
    more constructive dialogue with Armenia, UN Secretary General Ban
    Ki-moon stated in his report titled "The situation in the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan", which was submitted to consideration of
    the UN General Assembly.

    The report is based on the letters issued by the OSCE MG Co-chairs and
    by several other UN member states with proposals for resolution of the
    Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

    In March 2008 the UN General Assembly in its resolution 62/243 called
    on member states and international and regional organizations to make
    an effective contribution to the process of the conflict
    resolution. It requested the Secretary-General to present a
    comprehensive report on the implementation of this resolution at the
    63rd session.

    The UN Secretary General's report says that according to the OSCE
    Minsk Group co-chairs the General Assembly resolution 62/243 is
    selectively propagating only some of the earlier suggested principles
    of conflict resolution.

    "This lack of balance has forced our countries to vote against this
    resolution, to our great regret. Nevertheless, during the explanation
    of motives and again today, we reaffirm our support for the
    territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,' says the letter the OSCE Minsk
    Group addressed the UN.

    The United States, Russia and France declared that "the most effective
    way, with which Azerbaijan can regain its territorial integrity, is a
    continuation of the increasingly constructive dialogue with Armenia"
    in order to complete the basic principles that the Co-chairs suggested
    the two sides in Madrid, the UN news center reported.
