UN disinterested in conflicts in former USSR – ministry
MOSCOW. Sept 14 (Interfax) – The inclusion of the issue of frozen
conflicts on the territory of the former USSR on the agenda of the
61st session of the United Nations’ General Assembly at the initiative
of GUAM member states does not show the United Nations’ interest in
the issue, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"Sixteen states voted for the GUAM initiative, 15 voted against, and
there were 65 abstentions. This does not give grounds to say that the
voting proves the UN’s interest in conflicts on the territory of the
former Soviet Union," the press and information department of the
Russian Foreign Ministry told Interfax on Thursday.
