Discussions on "Women, peace and security" were held at the UN Security
Council on February 23 with participation of representatives of more
than 50 countries and high-ranking UN officials.
Speaking at the event, Armenia's Ambassador at the UN Karen Nazaryan
referred to the harassments against women and girls during conflicts.
Ambassador Nazaryan noted, in part: "In a few days we'll commemorate
the innocent victims of Sumgayit, who were massacred and subjected
to torture only for being Armenian."
The Ambassador called attention to the fact that even after being
elected non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, Azerbaijan
continues to conceal its crimes and provocations.
The Armenian representatives called on Azerbaijan to refrain from
"cheap steps" and inappropriate manipulations at the Security Council,
and concentrate on the negotiation process under way within the
framework of the OSCE Minsk Group and implement the agreements reached
during the last meeting of the Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani
Presidents.
Ambassador Nazaryan further noted that "Azerbaijan continues to violate
the UN Security Council Resolutions, which call on the parties to
hold negotiations in the OSCE Minsk Group format and through direct
contacts. "Azerbaijan's refusal from holding talks with the elected
authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic is the main obstacle
for the resolution of the conflict."
