    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The new President of the UN General Assembly kicked
    off the 63rd session of the 192-member forum on September 16 with
    a call to democratize the United Nations so that it can deal more
    effectively with the world's most pressing problems and ensure that the
    voices of a few do not overwhelm the views of the majority of others.

    Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann, a former foreign minister of Nicaragua,
    pledged in his opening address to the session to dedicate his year
    as President to representing the interests of "the dispossessed of
    the world" and fostering solidarity between peoples and Member States.

    "I am aware of the great expectations which the vast majority of the
    dispossessed inhabitants of our threatened planet have placed in the
    United Nations to bring them peace, security and to defend their right
    to life and to full development," he said. "We must not fail them."

    Political discussions will last from September 23 to October
    1. Presidents of Brazil, U.S., France, Serbia, Argentina, Gabon, Iran
    Georgia and Lithuania are scheduled to take the rostrum on the first
    day. The President of Ukraine will deliver a speech on September 24
    morning. Presidents of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan will address the
    Assembly on September 26, the UN news center reported.

    As PanARMENIAN.Net came to know from reliable sources, Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan will depart for New York on September 23
    and will apparently partake in the discussions.

    Trilateral meetings between the Presidents and Foreign Ministers of
    Armenia, Turkey and Azerbaijan are also expected.
