Azerbaijan’s MFA: Armenia attempts to instrumentalize UN Security Council
Baku, August 14, AZERTAC
“Despite its first failure in December 2022, Armenia once again attempts to instrumentalize the UN Security Council for its political, military and informational manipulation campaign,” Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
“Armenia’s appeal to the Security Council on groundless allegations of “worsening humanitarian situation” and “continued blockade” in the region yet again comes at a time when Armenia itself deliberately and intentionally obstructs all the efforts made through international partners to find a balanced, law-based and reasonable solution on the ground.
As it is well-known, wide-range abuse of the Lachin road by Armenia over past three years necessitated Azerbaijan’s legitimate and legal action of establishing a border check-point to ensure security and order on its border. While Armenia attempted to portray these efforts as a “blockade” and requested the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to issue an order on removal of the checkpoint, the ICJ in its order of July 6 has unanimously rejected this request,” the ministry added.
