STEPANAKERT, 27.11.04. DE-FACTO. “Azerbaijan’s attempts to transfer
the discussion of the Karabakh problem from the frames of the OSCE
Minsk Group into other international organizations” format will cause
prolonging the settlement process”.
NKR Foreign Minister Ashot Ghoulian stated to the DE-FACTO agency,
while commenting upon the Azerbaijan-initiated discussion of the issue
on the situation on the Nagorno Karabakh controlled territories in the
United Nations Organization. According to him, “neither the OSCE Minsk
Group Co-Chairmen, nor the countries concerned in the soonest peaceful
resolution of the problem greet such efforts of the Azerbaijani party”.
In Ashot Ghoulian’s opinion, the November 23 discussions at the session
of the UNO General Assembly were delayed, mainly, on Azerbaijan’s
initiative due to its uncertainty about the possibility to get the
necessary number of votes. At the same time, the NKR Foreign Minister
noted that “if the resolution project introduced by Azerbaijan is
all the same adopted, it will mean that the Azerbaijani propaganda
machine managed to take off the negotiation process from the true
way”. The head of the Nagorno Karabakh Foreign Ministry stressed that
the official Baku used this tactics every time the parties approached
to concrete agreements.
“Azerbaijan’s such activities aimed at drawing the attention of the
international community from the point of the Karabakh problem –
namely, the status of Nagorno Karabakh, hamper our progress in the
conflict’s settlement”, Ashot Ghoulian stressed.
