Azerbaijan has raised the issue of 'elections' to the 'local
self-governing bodies' on the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh
region.
Azerbaijan has raised the issue at a session meeting which was hold on
18 September in the UN General Assembly, UN sources informed.
In his letter to the UN Secretary-General Agshin Mehdiyev, Permanent
Representative of Azerbaijan asked to add the Statement by the
Azerbaijani MFA under the GA agenda items entitled "Protracted
conflicts in the GUAM area and their implications for international
peace, security and development", "The situation in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan" and "Elimination of racism, racial
discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", and of the
Security Council.
"Azerbaijan reiterates in this regard that the unrecognized separatist
regime in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan represents nothing
but an illegal structure established by Armenia on the basis of ethnic
cleansing of these territories from Azerbaijani population. The
so-called `elections' are conducted in order to camouflage the
annexation policy of Armenia and are aimed at consolidation of the
results of the continued occupation of the internationally recognized
territories of Azerbaijan", says the letter.
"Azerbaijan calls upon the Armenian side to stop its destructive
illegal steps, which do not have any prospects, and instead to
demonstrate goodwill and take a constructive position in the
negotiation process in order to find an early and durable solution to
the conflict on the basis of the norms and principles of international
law", reads the statement.
