YEREVAN, September 26. /ARKA/. Azerbaijan has lost even a moral
right to propose its protection and guaranteed future to the people
of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), RA Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan stated at the 61st General Assembly of the United Nations
(UN) in New York.
He stressed that Azerbaijan treated the NKR population, citizens of
Azerbaijan, in an immoral and irresponsible way.
Far from the NKR, in public places, Azerbaijan allowed Armenian pogroms
to be committed, shelled Armenians and caused over 300,000 of them
to leave their homes, unleashed a war and, after being defeated and
signing a cease-fire agreement, began obliterating all the signs of
Armenians' presence in Azerbaijan's territory, Oskanyan said.
And the fact that, a decade after the cease-fire regime was
established, the Azerbaijani side annihilated Armenian cultural and
historical monuments in Nakhichevan, where no Armenian can be found
now, testifies that Azerbaijan has not changed its policy during this
period, Oskanyan said.
He also stated that no one can accuse the Armenian side of being
biased - Azerbaijan is not ready for interested in the negotiations.
Nevertheless, having turned down two previous proposals for a
compromise made over the last right years, Azerbaijan will not assume
the responsibility for rejecting a peace program on the negotiating
table. This is the reason why they are resorting to any means to
force Armenians into turning this program down. However, Armenian
clearly stated its consent to each of the fundamental principles of
the document on the negotiating table.
