Azerbaijani Ambassador at UN appeals with the letter to the General Assembly about the situation in Nagorny Karabakh
Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan Republic at the United Nations Aghshin Mehdiyev appealed with the letter to the General Assembly about the situation in Nagorny Karabakh.
22:21 / 07.01.2010 Letter dated 23 December 2009 from the Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General. According to the information, the permanent representative informs APA:
“I would like to draw your attention to the recent statements made in the United Nations by the representatives of the Republic of Armenia, which contravene the declared commitment of this country’s Government to the constructive and international law-based solution of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Thus, the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the United Nations in his statement at the 6216th meeting of the Security Council, on 11 November 2009, claimed that “Armenia’s involvement (read: aggression against Azerbaijan) prevented ethnic cleansing, which had been subtly conducted by Azerbaijan during the 70 year of Soviet rule and was aimed at wiping out Armenians
from their ancestral homes”. Another example of similar distortion is found in the speech of the representative of Armenia in the meeting of the Third Committee of the General Assembly held on 2 November 2009 entailing the claim that “(i)n the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the people had sought their right to self-determination in a peaceful manner and through negotiation”.
Such cynical allegations are not an exception to the usual speculations by Armenian officials as to the origin, course and consequences of the war of aggression unleashed against Azerbaijan. We fully realize that attempts by Armenia to mislead the international community obviously carry the danger of causing a distorted perception of the essence of the problem, pose a serious threat to political settlement perspectives and purport to advocate the culture of impunity and therefore cannot be left unaddressed.
It is curious, to say the least, that while referring to the alleged ethnic cleansing policy towards Armenians during Soviet rule and their “peaceful” aspirations, the representatives of Armenia usually pass over in silence the facts irrefutably testifying to the opposite, in particular that over the 70 years of Soviet rule, Armenia succeeded in expanding its territory, mostly at the expense of Azerbaijani lands, and using every possible means to expel the Azerbaijanis from
their lands. Suffice it to say that during the Soviet period the territory of Armenia increased from 8,000-10,000 to 29,800 square kilometres.Bu yazı ( 274 ) - dəfə oxunmuşdur
