    AZERBAIJAN TRYING TO USE SYRIAN CRISIS FOR ITS POLITICAL GOALS - KARABAKH MFA

    August 30, 2013 | 20:28

    STEPANAKERT. -- Azerbaijan, whose attempts to abort the negotiation
    process for the peaceful settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan
    and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) are becoming more evident,
    has resorted to new propaganda tricks, NKR Foreign Ministry said in
    a statement.

    The July 19, 2013 letter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
    Azerbaijan to the UN Secretary General (circulated in the UN as
    a document A/67/952-S/2013/478 on August 13, 2013) is a vivid
    manifestation of such a policy of Azerbaijan.

    This time Azerbaijan is trying to utilize for its political goals the
    Syrian crisis, which is currently under the focus of the international
    community, in particular the fate of the Syrian Armenians that, along
    with other Syrian refugees, are forced to find refuge in different
    parts of the world.

    Overwhelmed by its mania of distorting the essence of the conflict
    and misleading the international community, the Minister of Foreign
    Affairs of Azerbaijan did not hesitate to use obvious lies and
    misinformation. It should be noted in particular that no single
    person mentioned in the so-called "resettled people" list conveyed
    along with the letter to the UN Secretariat, has ever been, and is
    not currently on the territory of the NKR.

    Azerbaijan once again distorts and selectively interprets facts
    concerning the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs,
    claiming that two field assessment missions of the OSCE Minsk Group
    Co-Chairs dispatched to Nagorno-Karabakh have allegedly recorded
    "numerous violations of the norms and principles of international
    humanitarian law."

    It is well-known that those missions, which were carried out with the
    consent and support of the NKR authorities, in their reports refuted
    the Azeri allegations about the implementation of resettlement
    programs. Meanwhile, it is appropriate to recall that Azerbaijan
    refused and still does not allow access for an OSCE Minsk Group
    Co-Chairs' field assessment mission to the occupied territories
    of Nagorno-Karabakh, where in an organized manner large-scale
    projects of settlement of Azeris are being implemented in previously
    Armenian-populated areas.

    It is a matter of special concern that the Minister of Foreign Affairs
    of a country with a status of non-permanent member of the UN Security
    Council uses direct threats in his letter.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic calls
    on the UN Member States to take measures preventing the attempts
    of Azerbaijan to use the high tribune of the UN for propaganda
    machinations, and support the mediation efforts of the OSCE Minsk
    Group Co-Chairs in finding a comprehensive and lasting solution to
    the conflict between the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan.
