PanARMENIAN.Net - On May 10, UN hosted a session of Security Council
anti-terrorism committees chaired by Azerbaijan.
At the session, Azerbaijan, abusing its position as a chair, refused
Armenia a right to make a report, in full realization that official
Yerevan will respond to Azerbaijan's cynical statements issued last
week at UN. However, under the pressure of Security Council members,
Azerbaijan had to give the floor to Armenia's permanent representative
to UN Karen Nazaryan.
In his statement, the representative of Armenia expressed concern over
the fact that Azerbaijan's territory is used as a safe transport route
for terrorist and radical religious groups engaged in illegal transfer
of weaponry and money. Nazaryan also stressed the ties of Azeri
authorities with al-Qaeda linked terrorist groups who fought against
Nagorno Karabakh in the 90s. In conclusion, Armenia's representative
urged for increased caution against boosting terrorist activities in
the region.
Also, a document was issued at UN Security Council expressing
discontent over May 4 statement of Azeri President Ilham Aliyev,
which caused an open resentment among Security Council members.
