Armenia not surprised at Karabakh resolution passage in UN
Armenia shares the position of the world powers which abstained from vote on Azerbaijan's resolution on Karabakh, RA President's spokesman Victor Soghomonyan told a briefing in Yerevan.

"All these states do know that the resolution undermines the Karabakh peaceful process," he said.

"Adoption of the resolution by 39 UN member states was not a surprise for Armenia. The point is how seriously Azerbaijan treats the talks and the OSCE MG's disapproval of the resolution, which is non-binding anyway," Mr Soghomonyan said when responding to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question.

On March 14, with 39 votes in favor, 7 against and 100 abstentions, the Assembly adopted the resolution "On the situation on the occupied territories of Azerbaijan."
