/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan has sent a note of protest to India,
which opposed the resolution "On the situation in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan" in the UN General Assembly.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry "expressed discontent with India’s
stance on the issue," said Tamerlan Garayev, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador
to India.
"The note has been already said and we are waiting for a reply from
the Indian Foreign Ministry," he said, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
Earlier, Ambassador Garayev said that the Azerbaijani Embassy had
been carrying out strenuous work to dissuade India from voting against
the resolution on Nagorno Karabakh, or, at least, abstain.
"However, this country did not lend an ear to our arguments," he said.
"We were cherishing plans for cooperation.
Unfortunately, India spoiled everything. Presently, the Azerbaijani
Embassy in Delhi is waiting for MFA instructions. Afterwards, the
official position of Baku will be brought to notion of the Indian
side," he said. "This move upset us and it will certainly affect the
Azerbaijani-Indian relations."
