Azerbaijan attempts to reject the document on Karabakh, discussed at
the negotiation table, said Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan
at an informal session of the CSTO Cabinet of Foreign Ministers in
Moscow, Friday.

According to Oskanyan, this is proven by Azerbaijan’s initiative on
the resolution on Nagorno Karabakh, presented to the UN General
Assembly.

"Though this resolution has no legal force, by promoting it,
Azerbaijan tries to reject the document discussed at the negotiation
table", a source from the Department for Press and Information of the
Armenian Foreign Ministry quoted Oskanyan as saying.

Moreover, the Armenian Foreign Minister considers that Azerbaijan
attempts to transfer the discussions from the OSCE Minsk Group to the
United Nations, which will endanger the continuation of the
negotiation process.

"In this sense, Armenia is anxious about the failure of the
Collective Security Treaty Organization to come out from a single
position", the Minister announced.

Oskanyan noted that the countries, which voted for the resolution, in
fact, voted against the negotiation process.

In conclusion, he voiced hope that the CSTO member-states will
further adhere to the solidarity principle.
