GUAM initiatives in UN pursue political objectivesSeptember 27, 2007 - 20:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "By a GUAM initiative, 2 items were put on the agenda of the UN General Assembly's 62nd session: first referring to the so-called arsons of Azeri lands and the second referring to frozen conflicts in the CIS. Both items were carried over from the 61st session and may be even postponed to the next one," RA permanent representative in the UN Armen Martirosyan told reporters in Yerevan.Both initiatives pursue political objectives and have nothing to do with the truth, according to him. "Armenia has raised the issue of desecration of the Armenian cemetery in old Djuga but the visit of the UNESCO mission was twice frustrated through the fault of the Azeri side," Martirosyan said. For his part, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said passage of a resolution on the frozen conflicts by the UN will have negative consequences. "GUAM member states are trying to convince the international community that they want to solve problems. However, they had better think over the consequences before resorting to the move," the RA FM said.
