ArmInfo. The Artsakh Foreign Ministry has issued a statement on the occasion of holding an event in Shoushi dedicated to the 30th Anniversary of Azerbaijan's  Membership to the UN. 

Official Baku, in line with its style, continues to wage a  destructive policy aimed at legitimizing the results of its  aggression against Artsakh, trying to involve and exploit the  international community and various structures in that process. The  organization in Artsakh's occupied town of Shoushi of a solemn  ceremony dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Azerbaijan's membership  to the United Nations and the participation of representatives of the  UN and its structures in this event is another manifestation of this  policy.

The Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Artsakh strongly condemns the  holding of such an event in Shoushi.

The participation of the UN representatives in the event organized in  the town, which has been one of the main targets of Azerbaijan's  aggression and Armenophobia, contradicts the principles of  activities, ideology and mission of this influential international  organization, and will be undoubtedly used by Azerbaijan to  legitimize its inhumane and aggressive policy. This is also a serious  blow to the reputation of the UN, which will have a negative impact  on the effectiveness of the organization's activities.
