/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian authorities should not close eyes
to the Azerbaijani resolution adopted by the UN, NKR former Deputy
Foreign Minister Arman Melikyan said.
"This is an international document and its adoption is a failure of
Armenian diplomacy," he said.
"Passage of the resolution is not a calamity for Armenia. Our problem
is that we focus on prevention of hostilities, failing to understand
the international interests correctly," he said. "Armenia should
take the lead in Karabakh settlement. Armenia needs new approaches
and new negotiators," he added, Novosti Armenia reports.
On March 14, the UN General Assembly with 39 votes ‘in favor’, 7
‘against’ and 100 abstentions adopted the resolution "On the situation
in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan."
The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair states – Russia, U.S. and France –
voted against the measure.
