"Azerbaijan’s position on Kosovo conflict is clear. This conflict has
nothing to do with Nagorno Karabakh conflict and can not be considered
precedent for the solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict", Azerbaijani
foreign Minister Elmar Mammdayarov attending the 62nd session of UN
General Assembly in New-York told the APA.
"On the other hand US, EU, England, Russia and other big countries
think that Kosovo can not be a precedent for the solution to any other
conflict. Armenia has occupied the territory of neighboring country. No
country will accept this fact. We can say the same things regarding
Kosovo conflict. Because world community will not let Kosovo issue be a
precedent" Elmar Mammadyarov also commented on frozen conflicts in GUAM
regions included to the agenda of 62nd session of UN General Assembly.
"We have discussed this issue along with Foreign Ministers of GUAM
countries. We decided that our ambassadors to UN will continue
debates with other countries. We are carrying out consultations
officially and unofficially. We want to win more support for these
draft resolutions. If we feel that we are supported enough, we will
bring this issue for debate. Azerbaijan is interested in informing
192 UN countries about frozen conflicts. But every step has its own
time. Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan’s position on frozen
conflicts are decisive," he said.
Elmar Mammadyarov stated that destruction of historical monuments
belonging to our country, arsons in occupied regions and other
issues will be reflected in the draft resolution covering situation
in Azerbaijani occupied regions.
"You know, UN Human Rights Council in Geneva has adopted a resolution
on destructed historical monuments in Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani
territories. We will continue the same debates in UN as a continuation
of this work. We are sure that we will achieve the result we want,"
he said.
