YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS. China is closely following the situation in the Lachin Corridor and is calling for existing disputes to be resolved through dialogue, discussions and consulations, the representative of China to the U.N. said during the UNSC emergency meeting on the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh resulting from the Azerbaijani blockade of Lachin Corridor.

“China is closely following the developments and has always called for disputes related to the Lachin Corridor to be resolved through dialogue, discussions and consultations,” the Chinese envoy said, adding that a common path to security and development is in the interests of both Armenia and Azerbaijan.

He called on Armenia and Azerbaijan to continue making mutual concessions based on the existing statements signed during talks and resolve disputes based on norms of international law. “China supports all diplomatic efforts that would contribute to this goal,” he added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
