"The passage of the resolution on Nagorno Karabakh at the UN General
Assembly was not a surprise for us. It was clear that it had to be
the case.

It’s not the first time that documents with no legal power are
adopted, so that the Armenian side has nothing to worry about," RA
President’s Spokesman Viktor Soghomonyan told a press conference today,
commenting on the passage of the resolution on the "Situation in the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan" at the General Assembly. Viktor
Soghomonyan said it’s inspiring that some countries abstained from
expressing attitude towards that document, understanding that they
will not contribute to the negotiation process and resolution of the
issue. According to him, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries also
consider that the adoption of that document could damage the process.

As for the attitude towards the countries that voted in favor of the
resolution, he noted that the results of voting will be in the centre
of attention of Armenia.

Let us remind that on March 14 thirty-nine countries voted for the
resolution, mainly out of organizational affinity with either GUAM
or the Organization of Islamic Conference.
