Attempts of Azerbaijan to transfer discussion of the Karabakh conflict
settlement beyond the frames of negotiations negatively affect this
process and indicate absence of Azerbaijani party’s political will to
achieve a long-duration settlement of the conflict, acting spokesman of
RA Foreign Ministry Vladimir Karapetyan said in response to ArmInfo’s
question how the discussion of the Karabakh issue will affect the
62nd session of the UN General Assembly and who is the initiator of
inclusion of this issue in the session agenda – Azerbaijan or GUAM.
He also said that two issues concerning the Karabakh conflict have been
included in the agenda of the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly:
one of them has been presented by Azerbaijan, the other one by GUAM. V.
Karapetyan recalled that none of them was discussed as yet at the 61st
session of the UN GA and, according to the organization’s regulations,
they are mechanically included in a number of issues of the next
session’s agenda. He emphasized that the issue is considered included
in the session agenda in case if a relevant resolution or decisions
are available which, however, can be appealed by any member- country
of the organization. In case of failure of voting, the issue is not
included in the agenda.
