UN Azerbaijan mission voices concern to Ban Ki-moon over Armenian issue
08 January 2010 [12:06] – Today.Az
Azerbaijan`s Permanent Representation to the United Nations has sent
a message to the organization`s Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon,
expressing concern over the fact `Armenia continues to refuse its
international commitments with respect to the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict’.
`Armenia`s position represents a danger of misleading the
international community about the real nature of the problem,’ the
message says.
`The non-constructive position of the Armenian leaders poses a serious
threat to solving the dispute through political means,’ it adds.
The message highlights the history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
saying `Armenians launched their attacks against Azerbaijanis as early
as 1987 in Khankendi, which caused the flow of Azerbaijani refugees
and IDPs’.
`During the Soviet era Armenia extended its territory from 10,000 to
29,000 square meters at the cost of Azerbaijan`s lands.’
`The Armenian government must realize that having cleaned its
territory from all non-Armenians it is now the only mono-ethnic
country across the world. Armenia`s political life is dominated by
race discrimination,’ the letter underlines.
It also calls on international organizations, in particular the United
Nations, to take `more serious measures’ against Armenia.
