    Armenia's Ambassador to the UN Karen Nazaryan

    UNITED NATIONS-Armenia's Permanent Representative at the United
    Nations, Ambassador Karen Nazaryan delivered a speech at the
    discussions on the issue of protection of the civilian population
    during conflicts held at the UN Security Council.

    Speaking about the Karabakh conflict, Ambassador Karen Nazaryan
    emphasized Azerbaijan's responsibility for crimes against humanity
    committed in the conflict zone. He said the Azeri authorities are
    responsible for the violation of rights of hundreds of thousand of
    displaced persons and refugees, the ethnic cleansing and aggression
    unleashed in response to the realization of the right of the people
    of Nagorno Karabakh to self-determination, as well as the massacre
    of the Azerbaijani population in Khojaly.

    Ambassador Nazaryan informed the members of the Security Council
    that Armenian settlements of Artsvashen, Shahumyan in the north of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Getashen and another 18 villages were
    razed to the ground as a result of the conflict, about 20 settlements
    are still occupied by Azerbaijan.

    The Ambassador added that "Azerbaijan continues the infringements
    against the frontline settlements of independent Artsakh and Armenia,
    turning down the calls of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and the UN
    Security Council to implement confidence-building measures."

    In that context the Nazaryan said that Armenia welcomes the Los Cabos
    statement of the Presidents of the Minsk Group co-chairing countries
    and urged the Azeris to stop all kind of provocations at the Armenian
    border and the line of contact with Nagorno Karabakh.
