Azerbaijan uses Islamic solidarity in its own interests
Azerbaijan uses the factor of Islamic solidarity in its own interests, said Armenia's Ambassador to Kuwait.

"The Azerbaijani-imitated resolution that was adopted by the UN General Assembly is a direct evidence of this," Ambassador Vahagn Melikyan (residence in Abu-Dhabi) said at a meeting with Foreign Minister of Kuwait, Dr. Muhammad Al-Sabah.

"One-sided resolutions do not contribute to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict but can tense the situation and be used by Azerbaijan as a trump card in its warlike position," he said.

On March 14, 2008, with a vote 39 to 7 and 100 abstentions, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution on Nagorno Karabakh urging "immediate withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan."

For his part, Dr. Al-Sabah said his country wants a resolution for the Karabakh problem via peaceful talks and in compliance with the norms of international law.

The officials also referred to organization of a visit of Armenian President to Kuwait.

Ambassador Melikian also met with head of the AAC Kuwait Dioceses, Archbishop Kyureg Papyan and representatives of the Armenian community, the RA MFA press office reported.
