Azerbaijan’s representative was interrupted during his speech at a meeting of the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs Committee, commonly referred to as the “Third Committee”, of the UN General Assembly. Even at the discussion of the problem of children’s rights, the Azeri representative attempted to resort to anti-Armenian rhetoric, mentioning “occupied territories, refugees, children-soldiers and Khojala massacre.” The Chairman, however, run out of his patience and interrupted the Azeri delegate.

In his turn, the Armenian representative pointed out that Azerbaijani delegates try to use any platform for anti-Armenian propaganda. In his speech he elaborated on Azerbaijan’s aggression against the peaceful Armenian population both in Azerbaijan itself and in Nagorno-Karabakh. As result, hundreds of thousands of refugees became refugees, tens of thousands of children lost their parents and were disabled.
