/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The UN General Assembly's resolution "on immediate
withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan" will undermine the peaceful process, said Armen
Martirosyan, Armenia's permanent representative in the UN.
"Impartial and responsible mediators found that the document doesn't
contribute to peaceful talks.
Furthermore, it conflicts with the fundamental international norms
and is an attempt to sabotage the peaceful process," Armen Martirosyan
said, RIA Novosti reports.
With 39 votes in favor, 7 against and 100 abstentions, the UN General
Assembly adopted a text that also called for "continued respect and
support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic
of Azerbaijan."
The document was pushed through the vote owing to support of the
Organization of Islamic Conference represented by Pakistan's envoy
Munir Akram.
UN General Assembly's resolutions are non-binding.
