UN General Assembly adopts Azerbaijan-initiated resolution

Baku, June 24 (AzerTAc). An Azerbaijan-initiated resolution has been adopted at the 65th session of the UN General Assembly. Despite denies by the Armenian side, the UN member states supported Baku`s right position.
The resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly calls to respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of all countries. It says that national sovereignty and obligations of countries must be respected and observed under international law in order to ensure responsible and credible mediation.
During the session, Armenia was the only country which refused to join a consensus on Azerbaijan`s resolution about “Strengthening the role of mediation in peaceful settlement of disputes, conflict prevention, and settlement”.
Armenian diplomats failed in their attempts to exclude the presented principle on national territorial integrity in the resolution, which has been long in the making. When the action failed, they asked that the right of peoples to self-determination be renegotiated.
The UN member countries refused groundless arguments by Armenian delegation on the right to self determination of peoples.
