Reports on "statement" spread in UN by so-called regime in Armenia - another fabrication

He said that no one is surprised that the Armenian Foreign Ministry confuses illusion and mythology with reality.

“In fact, Armenia’s Permanent Mission to the UN, by abusing its status and showing disrespect to the UN system and member states, is trying to disseminate such scraps of paper on behalf of the so-called regime,” Hajiyev noted.

In the UN system where the environment is respected, such papers are used for recycling, Hajiyev added.

Earlier, the illegal regime created in the Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani territories tweeted that Nagorno-Karabakh’s “foreign ministry” had made statements at the UN General Assembly and the Security Council.

The statement said that Baku’s claims that Armenian armed forces had used a prohibited white phosphorous weapon against Azerbaijani civilians are baseless.

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict entered its modern phase when the Armenian SRR made territorial claims against the Azerbaijani SSR in 1988.

A fierce war broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. As a result of the war, Armenian armed forces occupied some 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory which includes Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts (Lachin, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Gubadli and Zangilan), and over a million Azerbaijanis became refugees and internally displaced people.

The military operations finally came to an end when Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in Bishkek in 1994.

Dealing with the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the OSCE Minsk Group, which was created after the meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council in Helsinki on 24 March 1992. The Group’s members include Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia, the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belarus, Finland and Sweden.

Besides, the OSCE Minsk Group has a co-chairmanship institution, comprised of Russian, US and French co-chairs, which began operating in 1996.

Resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 of the UN Security Council, which were passed in short intervals in 1993, and other resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly, PACE, OSCE, OIC, and other organizations require Armenia to unconditionally withdraw its troops from Nagorno-Karabakh.
