Baku sent protest note to India over position on Karabakh resolution

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan has sent a note of protest to India, which opposed the resolution "On the situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan" in the UN General Assembly.



The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry "expressed discontent with India's stance on the issue," said Tamerlan Garayev, Azerbaijan's Ambassador to India.



"The note has been already said and we are waiting for a reply from the Indian Foreign Ministry," he said, Trend Azeri news agency reports.



Earlier, Ambassador Garayev said that the Azerbaijani Embassy had been carrying out strenuous work to dissuade India from voting against the resolution on Nagorno Karabakh, or, at least, abstain.



"However, this country did not lend an ear to our arguments," he said.



"We were cherishing plans for cooperation. Unfortunately, India spoiled everything. Presently, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Delhi is waiting for MFA instructions. Afterwards, the official position of Baku will be brought to notion of the Indian side," he said. "This move upset us and it will certainly affect the Azerbaijani-Indian relations."
