AGSHIN MEHDIYEV: "DRAFT RESOLUTION ON "FROZEN CONFLICTS" WILL BE BROUGHT TO VOTE IN UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY"
Today, Azerbaijan
Feb 28 2007
The draft resolution on "Frozen conflicts in the CIS states" will
be brought to vote in the session of the UN General Assembly to last
until September, 2007, Ambassador Agshin Mehdiyev, head of Azerbaijani
representative office in the UN told.
The diplomat did not agree to the statement that these conflicts
should not be discussed in the UN. Mehdiyev said that the UN General
Assembly’s any resolution on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will
base on international juridical norms and express the most prominent
organizations’ position. This will make OSCE and other international
organizations act in the framework of these norms.
The Ambassador noted that therefore Armenia does not want this
resolution to be brought to vote.
Mehdiyev said the OSCE report on arsons recorded in the front line
last year has already been presented to the UN. He noted that the
report does not mention who committed the arsons.
The Ambassador said the report recommends establishing joint
commissions in the front line and providing the local residents with
agricultural equipment.
