Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on Friday delivered a speech at the
66th session of the United Nations General Assembly in which he, in
particular, spoke about the Karabakh peace process and the recent
Armenian-Turkish normalization efforts.
In his far-ranging remarks from the high tribune, the Armenian leader
effectively accused Azerbaijan and Turkey of impeding progress in both
processes.
`Azerbaijan's utter unwillingness to reach an agreement and its
`everything or war' position have stalled progress in the peace talks.
Despite the expectations and the high-level advice from the
international community, Azerbaijan took yet another step back during
the last meeting in Kazan by rejecting the previously elaborated
arrangement and trying, in fact, to break down the negotiation
process,' Sargsyan, in particular, said in reference to the latest
developments in the internationally mediated peace talks.
Regarding the unsuccessful attempt of recent years at a rapprochement
with Turkey, the Armenian head of state again accused Ankara of
`aborting' the ratification and implementation of the normalization
protocols initialed in 2009. He also stressed that Turkey continues to
engage in a policy of denying the Ottoman-era genocide of Armenians.
