ARMENIA TO STOP NEGOTIATIONS ON KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT IF AZERBAIJAN IS TO INSIST ON DISCUSSION OF ITS LAST YEAR’S INITIATIVE AT UN

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 14. ARMINFO. Armenia will stop negotiations on
the Nagorno-Karabakh peaceful settlement if Azerbaijan is to put
forward any issue at the UN, and then Baku will be forced to continue
negotiations directly with Stepanakert, stated press-secretary
of Armenia’s Foreign Ministry Hamlet Gasparyan commenting on the
transfer of the issue “on situation in Azeri occupied territories”
to the agenda of the UN General Assembly’s 60th session.

In his words, in accordance with the UN regulations, the issue
undiscussed among others at Assembly’s 59th session may be
automatically transferred to the next session agenda. “However,
Azerbaijan can undertake no steps insisting on this point as it will
contradict to agreements reached by the sides earlier”, Gasparyan noted
adding that Armenia’s approach on this issue has not been changed.
