Armenia never planned to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council in 2012-2013.

“It’s ridiculous that the Azerbaijani media spread information which is absolutely false,” a diplomatic source in the UN told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “One can’t lose election without participating in it.”

Earlier, Azerbaijani Trend news agency reported that “Armenia withdraw its bid to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.” “Taking into account that Azerbaijan also submitted an application, the decision is certainly viewed as Armenia’s defeat,” the report said.
