RA President hopes that real interest of Azerbaijan is peaceful resolution of Karabakh conflict

PanARMENIAN.Net - Months ago the UN adopted with only 39 states out of 146 voting "for". It was a resolution which is related to the one of the episodes of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenian President Serzh Sarsgyan said in his address to the UN General Assembly.



"A fundamental and sensitive problem with deep roots, painful and bloody developments, and immense efforts to give it a peaceful resolution was decided upon by the majority to support one of the parties. The outcome was more than predictable - a new wave of belligerent statements in Azerbaijan, fake laurels of political speculations, etc.



But wasn't that voting a lip service to Azerbaijan? I hope that the real interest of Azerbaijan is not in miscellaneous international labelings of the different elements of the conflict but rather the peaceful and comprehensive resolution of the conflict, just like it is in the interest of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh and the Republic of Armenia.



The process mediated by the Co-Chairs of the Minsk Group is to reach exactly that goal, and I think that understand made almost 4/5 abstain from voting "yes' for that resolution. Look at the voting of the US, France and Russia - the most well-informed third parties, regarding the NK conflict and its resolution.



Is it absolutely necessary to shed blood to understand that the frozen conflicts demand expert and conscientious approach and cannot be solved through the discussions in different fora?



We have done some serious work with the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs. Isn't it possible to at least abstain from creating new challenges for the process?" he said.
