Armenia's Foreign Ministry has issued a statement over Azerbaijan's
move to call back a draft resolution brought on agenda of the United
Nations' General Assembly.
The statement reads as follows:
"On September 9 Azerbaijan withdrew its proposed draft resolution
A/64/L.57 from consideration and voting at the UN General Assembly,
requesting to move the relevant agenda item to the agenda of the 65th
Session of the General Assembly.
"We are thankful to all those UN member states and in particular to
the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries, which through their stance
prevented Azerbaijan from deviating and damaging the negotiation
process of the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh problem and not allowing
the adoption of an unconstructive draft resolution presented by
Azerbaijan at the UN General Assembly.
"The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs' field-assessment mission in the
territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh is in no way connected to the
draft resolution proposed by Azerbaijan at the UN General Assembly. In
their statement of September 6, 2010, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs
noted that an agreement had been reached with the sides about the
field-assessment mission already before summer, that is, weeks ahead
of Azerbaijan's submission of the draft resolution to the UN.
"Azerbaijan should refrain from its continuous attempts to shift
the settlement process, currently underway within the Minsk Group
framework, to other formats and it should refrain from provocative
and bellicose statements and actions so that the negotiation process
could proceed in a more constructive and effective course."
