Armenia’s position regarding the inclusion in UN General Assembly’s agenda the issue of frozen conflicts in GUAM area, as well as the issue on the situation in Azerbaijan does not change.

Both Armenia and other UN member states oppose it, Permanent Representative of Armenia to UN Garen Nazarian told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“The Karabakh peace process is held within a specially defined format, OSCE Minsk Group. Changing the format will not facilitate the settlement of the Karabakh conflict but, on the contrary, will hinder it,” he said.

Moreover, these issues in the context of global international crisis can not be considered priorities for the UN.

“In addition, Azerbaijan, by voicing its warlike statements, is trying to create an impression of explosive situation in the South Caucasus in the eyes of the international community. Thus, Baku jeopardizes the Karabakh peace process within the OSCE Minsk Group,” Nazarian added.

The Ambassador stressed that these provisions of UN General Assembly are moving from one agenda to another under consensus agreement.

“Debates are held, Armenia will oppose these provisions due to the reasons mentioned above.  In this context, by opposing these provisions and the following proposals, Armenia voted against the resolution submitted by Georgia on the status of refugees and internally displaced from Abkhazia and South Ossetia,” he concluded.
