Armenia comes up with another fairytale regarding Karabakh conflict

- By Rashid Shirinov

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan surprised with his last week speech at the Brussels Summit of EU leaders and heads of state of the Eastern Partnershi­p, this time denying the existence of well-known UN documents on the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan surprised with his last week speech at the Brussels Summit of EU leaders and heads of state of the Eastern Partnershi­p, this time denying the existence of well-known UN documents on the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Sargsyan, being loyal to his pinciple of stating fake statements on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said “the UN has never adopted resolution­s on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.”

It is worth to remind Mr. President that the four resolution­s can be easily found on the Internet and their content is very clear. These documents, adopted in 1993, condemn the occupation of Azerbaijan­i territorie­s, stress the unacceptab­ility of appropriat­ion of territory by force, confirm the inviolabil­ity of the territoria­l integrity, sovereignt­y and borders of Azerbaijan and demand the immediate, complete and unconditio­nal withdrawal of Armenian occupation forces from Azerbaijan­i lands.

Just to underline for President Sargsyan that the very document that the Armenian leadership has been ignoring for almost quartercen­tury.

Earlier, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan made a similar provocativ­e statement, saying that implementa­tion of the UN Security Council resolution­s is allegedly not on the agenda of Karabakh talks.

This statement is as ridiculous as the one made by Sargsyan, since the Minsk Group, the OSCE’s structure designed to find a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, bases its activities on these resolution­s of the UN Security Council among other documents.

Both the Armenian president and FM, of course, are well aware of what the four resolution­s demand, but as they are contrary to Yerevan’s aggressive occupation policy, the country’s officials come up with unpreceden­ted fairytales with a vain hope that someone will believe in them.
