    Azerbaijan urges to include Nagorno Karabakh into GA agenda
    Sat 24 September 2011 07:58 GMT | 3:58 Local Time


    Azerbaijan has raised the issue of 'elections' to the 'local
    self-governing bodies' on the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh
    region.
    Azerbaijan has raised the issue at a session meeting which was hold on
    18 September in the UN General Assembly, UN sources informed.

    In his letter to the UN Secretary-General Agshin Mehdiyev, Permanent
    Representative of Azerbaijan asked to add the Statement by the
    Azerbaijani MFA under the GA agenda items entitled "Protracted
    conflicts in the GUAM area and their implications for international
    peace, security and development", "The situation in the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan" and "Elimination of racism, racial
    discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", and of the
    Security Council.

    "Azerbaijan reiterates in this regard that the unrecognized separatist
    regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan represents nothing
    but an illegal structure established by Armenia on the basis of ethnic
    cleansing of these territories from Azerbaijani population. The
    so-called `elections' are conducted in order to camouflage the
    annexation policy of Armenia and are aimed at consolidation of the
    results of the continued occupation of the internationally recognized
    territories of Azerbaijan", says the letter.

    "Azerbaijan calls upon the Armenian side to stop its destructive
    illegal steps, which do not have any prospects, and instead to
    demonstrate goodwill and take a constructive position in the
    negotiation process in order to find an early and durable solution to
    the conflict on the basis of the norms and principles of international
    law", reads the statement.
