HAMLET GASPARIAN: ISSUE OF “AZERBAIJAN’S OCCUPIED TERRITORIES” CAN
SPONTANEOUSLY PASS TO UN GA 60th SESSION BUT AZERBAIJAN CAN’T INSIST
ON THIS CLAUSE

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN. According to the UN protocol,
among other issues not discussed at the UN General Assembly’s 59th
session, the issue “The situation in Azerbaijan’s occupied
territories” will also spontaneously pass to the 60th session but
Azerbaijan can take no step insisting on this clause as this will
contradict the agreement on this issue formerly achieved between the
parties. Hamlet Gasparian, RA Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson,
declared this commenting upon the transfer of the above-mentioned
issue to the agenda of UN General Assembly’s 60th session at the
request of mass media.

“Armenia’s approach to this issue hasn’t changed: if Azerbaijan raises
any question in the UN, Armenia will come out of the negotiations on
Nagorno Karabakh settlement and Baku will have to continue the
negotiations directly with Stepanakert,” Hamlet Gasparian emphasized.
