Baku. (Interfax-Azerbaijan) - Azerbaijan is seeking a fifth resolution
on Nagorno-Karabakh to be passed by the United Nations, President
Ilham Aliyev said on Monday.
"We want a new resolution to be passed. The text for it is ready,"
Aliyev told reporters in comments on a planned debate on the Nagorno-
Karabakh issue at the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
"We are trying to obtain support from a larger number of countries,"
he said.
He said the purpose of debates on the problem in the United Nations,
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and other
international organizations was "to bring to the international public
the truth about Armenia and its aggressive policy."
"We want the world public to know this problem and take part in trying
to solve it," he said.
He dismissed claims by the Armenian government that, if the United
Nations intervenes in the conflict, Armenia will be left out of the
negotiation process and Azerbaijan will be forced to hold talks with
Nagorno-Karabakh instead.
"Armenia is a party to the conflict, and we are holding our
negotiations with Armenia. If Azerbaijan is left one on one with
Nagorno-Karabakh, the problem will be solved even more quickly by
other methods," Aliyev said.
"If Armenia pulls aside, withdraws its troops, and stops financing
Nagorno-Karabakh from its state funds, we will resolve the conflict
by whatever means within a brief period," he said.
