Armenia’s illegal transfer of its citizens to occupied Azerbaijani
lands, arsons committed in Azerbaijani lands and destruction
of historical monuments have been included into the UN General
Assembly’s agenda in the frames of Azerbaijani delegation’s report
on the situation in the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
Deputy foreign minister Araz Azmiov told journalists, APA reports.
"The inclusion of this item into the General Assembly’s agenda was due
to Azerbaijan’s insistence. We achieved to present a relevant report to
the UN which analyzed the facts as well as assessed Armenians’ actions
and claimed demands. One of these demands is that Armenia should end
the illegal transfer of its people to Azerbaijani territories. This
demand has been voiced both in the report presented to the UN and
in the letter written by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs," the deputy
minister said.
Stating that the issue on fires is being investigated, Azimov said
the issue of sending a mission to the occupied territories will
be considered.
"Armenians are illegally functioning in these territories, and the
illegal transfer of Armenians continues. Our knowledge creates a
basis to investigate this matter," he said.
