Armenia's position regarding the inclusion in UN General Assembly's
agenda the issue of frozen conflicts in GUAM area, as well as the
issue on the situation in Azerbaijan does not change.
Both Armenia and other UN member states oppose it, Permanent
Representative of Armenia to UN Garen Nazarian told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
`The Karabakh peace process is held within a specially defined format,
OSCE Minsk Group. Changing the format will not facilitate the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict but, on the contrary, will hinder
it,' he said.
Moreover, these issues in the context of global international crisis
can not be considered priorities for the UN.
`In addition, Azerbaijan, by voicing its warlike statements, is trying
to create an impression of explosive situation in the South Caucasus
in the eyes of the international community. Thus, Baku jeopardizes the
Karabakh peace process within the OSCE Minsk Group,' Nazarian added.
The Ambassador stressed that these provisions of UN General Assembly
are moving from one agenda to another under consensus agreement.
`Debates are held, Armenia will oppose these provisions due to the
reasons mentioned above. In this context, by opposing these
provisions and the following proposals, Armenia voted against the
resolution submitted by Georgia on the status of refugees and
internally displaced from Abkhazia and South Ossetia,' he concluded.
