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.
