United Nations, 17 September 2005 (RFE/RL) — Armenian Prime Minister
Andranik Margaryan told the United Nations yesterday that he applauds
its proposed treaty to fight terrorism, saying it is the greatest
evil in the world today.

In a speech before the UN General Assembly, Margaryan also said the
international community should work harder to help prevent regional
conflicts. He said those directly involved in these disputes should
approach one another with respect.

Margaryan said his government has been trying to do just that in the
dispute with neighboring Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. But he
said those efforts are being hampered by Azerbaijan’s blockade of
part of Armenia.
