UN to table situation in occupied land Friday
A draft resolution on the situation in the occupied Azerbaijani
territories included in the agenda of the United Nations General
Assembly's 62nd session will be put on discussion on Friday, the
Foreign Ministry spokesman Khazar Ibrahim said.
He added that the Azerbaijani representation in New York was working hard to achieve adoption of the document.
The draft resolution, handed out earlier at the UN GA session to muster international support for it, urged unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the occupied territories. It said the ongoing occupation of Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh and adjacent districts considerably disrupted regional stability. The paper pointed to the importance of providing suitable conditions for the co-existence of the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Upper Garabagh in the future.
The UN has already passed four resolutions on the unconditional pullout of the Armenian forces, but none of them have been implemented so far.
Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a cease-fire in 1994, but Armenia continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and seven other Azerbaijani districts. Peace talks have been fruitless so far and refugees remain stranded.
