    ARMENIA'S REP. TO UN STRESSES AZERI TIES WITH AL-QAEDA LINKED GROUPS

    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.
