On December 7, the UN General Assembly is going to discuss the draft
resolution "on frozen conflicts," that also includes the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, the acting press-secretary of RA FM, Vladimir
Karapetian, informed about this. It’s worth mentioning that GUAM
(Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Moldova) has left the above-mentioned
issue discussion initiative in September, 2006. Earlier, V. Karapetian
stated that the Armenian side takes an active part in the elaboration
of the text of the bill "on frozen conflicts". He emphasized
that the Armenian side participates in all the draft resolutions,
related to the region, as well as in various issues of international
importance. He said that the Armenian side will naturally participate
in the discussions of "frozen" conflicts, initiated by the GUAM
member-countries. Besides, Mr. Karapetian reminded that the RA FM
considers this initiative of GUAM unacceptable and unjustified for
Armenia. He expressed confidence that the conflicts are different
and they are to be studied from the viewpoint of their specific
character. He also said that from this aspect, it is still unclear
for Armenia how can four different conflicts be united and considered
in one draft resolution.
