The Russian cochairman of the OSCE Minsk, Yury Merzlyakov, said the UN
General Committee’s decision to include an item on the situation in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan on the UN General Assembly’s agenda could have
negative consequences, such as harming efforts to bring about a just and lasting
settlement.
Interviewed by Azerbaijan’s ATV television Merzlyakov said the UN General
Assembly’s session is not the proper forum to discuss the matter.
Merzlyakov recalled the France’s representative speech, who spoke on behalf
of the Co-Chairmanship of the Minsk Group, which also includes the Russian
Federation and the United States, who spoke against the decision.
"Today when we are all waiting for the sides to resume talks there was no
necessity to raise the issue," he said, reiterating that placing the issue on UN
agenda would bring about more harms than help to make progress.
