UN Discussions on Conflict Not to Promote Settlement - Russian Foreign
Ministry
The initiative to consider the Nagorno Karabakh conflict at the United
Nations General Assembly session will not have a positive influence on
peace talks, Russian Foreign Ministry information and press department
officials said.
The statement comes after the proposal to include a provision on the
`Situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan' into the meeting
agenda.
`Russia abstained from voting, along with the other OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs. We believe that consideration of the issue at the UN General
Assembly session, along with the OSCE, is not likely to favorably
affect the negotiations process', the same source said and added that
the results of the vote indicate that most of international community
adhere to the same position.
