An Azerbaijani NGO has called on the UN to impose political and
economic sanctions on Armenia or to leave it to Azerbaijan to resolve
the Karabakh territorial dispute between these two countries, the
Baku-based private ANS TV channel reported.

Up 20 members of the Karabakh Liberation Organization attempted to
stage a protest outside the UN office in Baku on 6 July but police
prevented them from approaching the office. However, the protesters
did manage to submit a statement to the UN office, ANS said.

It showed a woman outdoors, with several people behind her, reading
out the statement. She said “the UN Security Council should abandon
its policy of double standards”, hold a meeting about Armenia’s
“terrorist actions” and “urgently impose political and economic
sanctions” on that country. Otherwise, she said, the UN and other
international organizations should withdraw from the mediation mission
between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Karabakh peace process and
should leave it to Azerbaijan “to solve its own problem using its
own possibilities”.
