Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov to address international community at UN GA

27 September 2011 07:29 (UTC +04:00)

Mr. Mammadyarov, who has been participating in the UN GAâ€™s 66th session in NYC for almost one week, has been scheduled to make his speech at the 28th plenary meeting, which starts today morning.

Besides him, 15 more state leaders, including Foreign Ministers from Russia Federation, Benin, Malawi and other countries will address the Assembly.

It is expected that Mr. Mammadyarov will raise Azerbaijanâ€™s concerns over the Nagorno-Karabakh issue and some regional handicaps in his speech, one Azeri official told APAâ€™s US correspondent.

â€œThe main focus of the speech will be the Karabakh â€“ as the Armenian diplomats have been strongly trying to brainwash the international community hereâ€, the source added.

Azerbaijan wants the international community to pay much attention over this conflict as the county still marks its 20th anniversary of independence with this conflict.

Mr. Mammadyarov also will talk about some regional challenges, including Azerbaijanâ€™s role and policy in the regional developments.

At the same time, UN Security Council will gather to discuss the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question this morning.

Mammadyarov is continuing his bilateral meetings as well, during the UN GA session.
