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.
