    ARMENIA RATIFIES INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF ACTS OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, APRIL 9, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA National Assembly on April 7
    ratified the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts
    of Nuclear Terrorism signed in New York on 13 April 2005 - with an
    attached objection. The decision was taken unanimously.

    According to the main speaker, Deputy Director of the National
    Security Service under the Armenian Government Romik Harutyunian,
    Armenia's objection is related to the reservation that Azerbaijan made
    when siging the convention. The reservation reads: "The Republic
    of Azerbaijan states that it will not be able to guarantee the
    implementation of the provisions of the convention in its territories
    occupied by the Republic of Armenia until these territories are
    liberated from occupation".

    In connection with this reservation, Armenia attached its objection
    to the convention. The objection particularly reads: "The Republic of
    Azerbaijan distorts the essence and importance of the Nagorno Karbakh
    problem regarding the reasons and effect of the contradiction that
    arose as a result of Azerbaijan's policy of ethnic cleansing aimed
    at suppressing the free will of the population of Nagorno Karabakh,
    followed by the aggession of a large number of armed forces against
    the independent Nagorno Karabakh. As a result, some territories of
    Nagorno Karabakh were occupied by the Republic of Azerbaijan".

    115 out of the 127 participating states of the Convention signed it
    as of 22 September 2009. The convention took effect in 54 states. The
    opinion of Armenia's Constitutional Court about the Convention was
    positive: it does not conflict with the Armenian legislation or cause
    any financial liabilities.
