UN AZERBAIJAN MISSION VOICES CONCERN TO BAN KI-MOON OVER ARMENIAN ISSUE
Baku, January 7 (AZERTAC). 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.
