Armenia's Permanent Representative at the UN, Ambassador Karen Nazaryan
delivered a speech at the 67th session of the U.N. General Assembly.
His speech concerned the elimination of racism, racial discrimination,
xenophobia and related intolerance.
Mr Nazaryan said that Azerbaijan keep on inciting hatred for
Armenians at the highest state level. He drew the U.N member-states'
attention to official Baku's anti-Armenian rhetoric and pointed out
the international community's response. Mr Nazaryan's speech was
focused on the pardoning of Azeri officer Ramil Safarov, which runs
counter to a number of international legal and humanitarian norms,
being a challenge to the entire human rights system.
Ambassador Nazaryan noted that the pardoning of Ramil Safarov by
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is a flagrant example and a
follow-up to the crime, which is the result of the xenophobic and
racist policy Azerbaijan has been pursuing for decades.
Ambassador Nazaryan called on the international community to raised
its voice against such unpardonable behavior, which poses a threat
to regional stability.
