    YEREVAN ADHERENT TO CRIMEA'S RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION -- ENVOY TO UN

    The Voice of Russia
    March 28 2014

    Armenia strongly supports the people's right to self-determination,
    Armenian Permanent Representative to the UN Karen Nazarian said.

    "For many years Armenia has been consistent and principled in its
    support for democracy, freedoms and rights, including equality and
    the right of people to self-determination," said Nazarian before the
    UN General Assembly vote on the Ukrainian resolution.

    Armenian Parliament Vice-Speaker, press secretary of the ruling
    Republican Party Eduard Sharmazanov stated that the Armenian vote
    against the resolution was not surprising. "Armenia has said time
    after time that it supports the self-determination of people through
    a free expression of their will. So, our position is not a surprise,"
    Sharmazanov told.

    The resolution, which didn't recognize the Crimean referendum results,
    was passed at the UN General Assembly session. A hundred countries
    supported the resolution, eleven were against and 58 abstained.

    Armenia, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, North Korea, Nicaragua, Russia,
    Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Zimbabwe voted against the resolution.
