Armenia
YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan continues distorting the essence and causes of
Karabakh conflict, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan
told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on statement of Azerbaijani
FM Elmar Mammadyarov about necessity of withdrawal of Armenian forces
from so-called "occupied" Azerbaijani territories.
"If Azerbaijan goes for Non Permanent Seat in UN Security Council, let
it first withdraw its army from occupied regions of Nagorno-Karabakh,"
said Kocharyan.
Azerbaijan has initiated a large-scale aggression against the people
of Nagorno-Karabakh despite the four requirements of UN Security
Council Resolution in 1993 on immediate cessation of hostilities.
North-Karabakh, part of Martakert and Martuni regions are still under
Azeri occupation.
Commenting on recurrent efforts of senior Azerbaijani officials to
justify the aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, by the fact
that it is not recognized, Kocharyan called those attempts futile.
"Futile attempts of Baku to avoid responsibility for the aggression
motivating that Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is not recognized,
contradicts to the definition of aggression adopted by the UN General
Assembly 14 December 1974. Under Article 1 of the definition of the
term "aggression" is applicable not only to recognized states, but also
to internationally unrecognized, non UN member states," he stressed.
