    Commenting on the UN General Assembly Resolution on Fires NKR
    Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian's said in particular, "On the
    whole taking into account the final result, namely an intention to
    send the OSCE Mission with support of the UN experts to the region
    to assess the long-term and short-term threats, which can lead to
    ecologic catastrophe in the region, the Resolution can be considered
    acceptable for the NKR. Moreover, it is necessary to emphasize
    that this process is a logical continuation of Nagorno Karabakh
    authorities' initiative. The NKR authorities were extremely alarmed
    at the situation with the fires as those inflammations caused damage
    to the agriculture of our republic. In connection with this the NKR
    MFA sent a note to the Office of the Personal Representative of the
    OSCE Chairman-in-Office with an urgent request to conduct a crisis
    monitoring in the area bordering with Azerbaijan. Two weeks late the
    OSCE Mission conducted a series of monitorings, which resulted in the
    report of Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, which
    refuted the accusations of the Azerbaijani side on alleged burnings
    of settlements in the NKR security zone. Thus, the NKR authorities
    were the first to address the OSCE for a dispatch of a monitoring
    group to the region, which was passed over in silence by the OSCE
    Minsk Group Co-Chairmen in their report, which was made public at the
    General Assembly's session. However, if the report of the OSCE high
    rank needs additional confirmation, - we are ready to receive a new
    Mission of the OSCE to discredit Azerbaijani myths once more."

    The Minister said that the position of this issue in the UN itself
    and some formulas of the Resolution are not acceptable. The attempts
    to transfer the issues, which are to be solved by the OSCE Minsk
    Group, to the UN cannot promote the advance of negotiation process
    but only postpone the possible prospect of the Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict settlement.

    Georgy Pertrossian considers that the fact that the given Resolution,
    namely its contents is a result of consensus between Armenia and
    Azerbaijan - rare phenomenon for recent years, especially under the
    conditions of the absence of confidence between the parties, is worthy
    of notice and it can be only welcomed. We consider that such projects
    are to be discussed with participation of all three parties to the
    conflict in order to avoid problems in the course of implementation
    of accepted decisions especially because these decisions concern the
    territories, which are exceptionally under the control of the Nagorno
    Karabakh republic's authorities.
