Baku keeps on introducing "documents" on Karabakh conflict in UN
UN Azerbaijan Representation submitted 2 documents to the Security Council and General Assembly. The 8th point of the resolution project on the situation in the occupied Azeri territories, passed at the 62nd General Assembly Session on Mar. 14, 2008, specifies that the GA Secretary General has to submit a report on document implementation. Taking the opportunity, the Azeri part submitted 4 reports to GA and SC.

One of the documents addressed by Azerbaijan Representation Head, the Ambassador Agishin Mechidiev to the UN Secretary General is entitled "Report on UN and international organizations assistance to Azerbaijan in NKR and adjacent territories conflict". The second document addressed to the Secretary General is named "Report on international legal obligations of militarized state Armenia, occupying Azeri territories". A 30-page report poses 3 questions: 1. Should Armenia be considered an occupant of Azeri territories? 2. If yes, what are its obligations in the provision of public order in the territory, Azeri legal system observation and human rights protection? 3. How can Armenia be forced into fulfilling international legal obligations? In conclusion, the report specifies: According to international law, 21 obligation should be imposed upon Armenia for its actions, APA Azeri news agency reported.

This has been the 4th report submitted by the UN Azerbaijan Representation, providing a "legal assessment" of the Armenian policy. The first 2 reports were submitted on Dec 24 and 29, 2008.
