July 27--Azerbaijan strongly protests to UN Secretary-General against
provocative actions and statements of the Armenian side, said Trend
in Permanent Mission of Azerbaijan in UN.
"Azerbaijan strongly protests against provocative actions and
statements of the Armenian side, finds the aggressor's insolent
behaviour as obvious manifestation of impunity for its crimes and
considers the defiant rhetoric of the Armenian leadership as having the
sole purpose of discrediting the ongoing conflict settlement process,
misleading the international community and drawing its own public's
attention away from the country's aggravating internal problems" said
in letter addressed to the Secretary-General of UN by Tofig Musayev-
a.i. of the Permanent Mission of Azerbaijan in United Nation.
"The above-mentioned period and the following month were also marked
by an unprecedented increase in bellicose rhetoric by the high-ranking
officials of Armenia. Among others, the statements of the President of
Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
of Europe on 22 June 2011 (made at the press conference during the
official visit to Ukraine)" said in letter.
Azeri diplomat noted above-mentioned statements were made against the
background of the 24 June meeting in Kazan between the Presidents
of Azerbaijan and Armenia, hosted by the President of the Russian
Federation, and the confirmation by the sides as a result of the
meeting that they would continue to seek a negotiated settlement.
"A sudden emotional outburst by the President of Armenia on the eve
of and immediately after the discussions in Kazan made it clear that
the officials in Yerevan continue to remain under the disastrous
influence of illusions" noted Musayev.
Azeri diplomat also informed the UN Secretary-General about ongoing
violations of the ceasefire by the armed forces of the Republic of
Armenia, recorded for the month of June 2011.
"During this period the armed forces of Armenia violated the ceasefire
55 times from their positions located both in the territory of
Armenia and in the occupied areas of Azerbaijan. As a result, one
Azerbaijani civilian was killed and one serviceman of the armed forces
of Azerbaijan was seriously wounded", Musayev noted.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group -- Russia, France, and the U.S. --
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
