  • BAKU: Azerbaijani Rep. Responded To Armenian Accusation Heard From U

    AZERBAIJANI REP. RESPONDED TO ARMENIAN ACCUSATION HEARD FROM UN TRIBUNE

    Ïðaâî Âûaîða, Azerbaijan
    Democratic Azerbaijan
    Sept 30 2006

    September 27, on the day of completion of general discussions of
    61st session of UN General Assembly, representative of Azerbaijan,
    taking "the right to answer" expressed his attitude towards some
    ideas expressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Vardan
    Oskanyan, at General Assembly.

    Representative of Azerbaijan declared that our country regrets that
    Armenia uses respectable tribune with the harmful and aggressive
    purpose. V. Oskanayan's speech is tragic demonstration of attitude of
    present Armenian government to neighbors. I wouldn't like to respond to
    this rhetoric full of accusation respecting Azerbaijan, but it should
    be stressed that utterly aggressive statements of Armenian part are
    not in line with position of international community, UN Security
    Council, Council of Europe, Organization of Islamic Conference, OSCE
    and other international organizations enshrined in their resolutions
    and decisions.

    As for accusation of Armenian minister connected with destruction
    of monuments belonging to Armenians on Azerbaijani territories,
    Azerbaijani representative declared that our country proposed to
    Council of Europe mission on examination of facts to visit the
    region. Government of Armenia hasn't responded to this initiate yet.

    It should be reminded that V. Oskanyan in his speech said that
    Armenian community of Nagorni Garabagh separated from Azerbaijan
    allegedly having used the right to self-determination. Representative
    of Azerbaijan evaluated such statement as attempt of Armenia to conceal
    ethnic cleaning committed on occupied territories with violation of
    international law.

    Our diplomat informed representatives of UN member-states that
    declaration of General Assembly dated December 14, 1960 "On Granting
    of Independence to Colonial Countries and Nations", "Declaration
    of Principles of International Law concerning Friendship and
    Cooperation among States" (1970), "Program of Events and Declaration
    of Universal Conference on Human Rights" (1993) clearly show that
    rights to self-determination cannot be used at the cost of territorial
    integrity of sovereign and independent state. Following these three
    international instruments self-determination is the right of whole
    population living on certain territory. This right can be used
    only via peaceful ways bearing in mind strengthening of political
    unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of state. Armenia,
    as UN member-state, is responsible for following these regulations
    which governs inter-states relations. Azerbaijan is ready to grant
    status of the highest self-government to Nagorni Garabagh region
    as a part of Azerbaijan having the consent of both Azerbaijani and
    Armenian populations of the given territories and in accordance with
    legal process.

    Upon completion of his speech Azerbaijani representative emphasized
    that Oskanyan's accusation uncovered necessity to extend information
    flow concerning the state on occupied Azerbaijan territories. UN
    General Assembly should know who is aggressor in the region, and
    who is victim. With this purpose Azerbaijan uses all available means
    and mechanisms.
