Azerbaijan's permanent mission to UN refutes Armenian media reports
Azerbaijan, Baku, May 12 / Trend /
Press office of Azerbaijan's Permanent Mission to the UN issued a
statement over the biased reports of Armenian media on the UN Security
Council meeting devoted to reports of committees on combating
terrorism.
According to the statement, during the meeting on May 10 Armenia's
permanent representative to the UN, in a clear disregard for the
Security Council's procedural rules, tried to make an address without
submitting a written request to the Security Council President (who
currently is the representative of Azerbaijan). After the president
became aware of this intention, he demanded, in accordance with the
rules of the Security Council, the formal letter to be submitted to
him.
"Media reports quoted the Armenian Foreign Ministry's press service as
stating that Azerbaijan allegedly gave the floor to Armenia under the
pressure of other states. In fact, besides from spreading false
information, the opposite party withholds that after the request by
the Council President Armenia's Permanent Mission had to submit a
formal letter several minutes before the end of the meeting, and only
after that the Armenian ambassador was allowed to make an address",
the statement pointed out.
It also emphasizes that during the meeting the Armenian
representative, in an abuse of the given opportunity, made a speech
that was unrelated to the topic of the discussion and was of a
slanderous and absurd nature, which caused surprise and
dissatisfaction of the Council members and other countries.
"Another thing that Armenian permanent representative "forgot" to tell
the media, is that the Azerbaijani representative expressed regret at
the unfounded accusations made by the representative of Armenia, and
brought to the attention of the Council, that this country had
conducted terrorist activities against Azerbaijan, and that the
relevant information was circulated at the UN", read the statement.
