Azerbaijan's permanent mission to the UN expressed its attitude to
the resolution on the right of peoples to self-determination adopted
at the 64th session of UN General Assembly.
Azerbaijan and Armenia are one of the 50 co-sponsor of the resolution.
Azerbaijan representative to the UN Agshin Mehdiyev said that the
resolution on this subject are adopted every year.
"It has a traditional character. We have always been a co-sponsor of
the resolution. Because Azerbaijan has never opposed right of peoples
to self-determination."
The Armenian Foreign Ministry has embarked on an artificial campaign
in connection with the document adopted at the UN. The resolution
reaffirms the universal application of the right of peoples to
self-determination and urges countries to draw attention to violation
of this right. Armenia says the resolution marks a success in resolving
the Karabakh conflict.
However, the General Assembly document does not stipulate application
of the right of peoples to self-determination in specific conflicts.
Mehdiyev believes that the resolution does not have any moments that
would gladden Armenia.
"Azerbaijan is not opposed to right of peoples to self-determination.
We have always said that this right has nothing to do with the
Karabakh Armenians. Because Armenians have already determined their
fate in a sovereign republic of Armenia. That's all. How one and the
same people can self-determine many times? The Armenian authorities
are conducting contrived campaign. In fact, this resolution has no
relation to Nagorno-Karabakh," he said.
