Baku attempt to spread anti-Armenian propaganda foiled in UN

PanARMENIAN.Net - The United Nations General Assembly's Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs Committee, commonly referred to as the Third Committee held a hearing on children's rights. On October 16, when Armenian and Azerbaijani representatives were scheduled to speak, Azeri delegate decided to dedicate his speech to "occupation of Azeri lands by Armenia, refugees and atrocities in Khojalu."



The chairman had to interrupt the speech, saying that the Azerbaijani parliamentarian misuses the time. However, the delegate continued speaking in the same vein and the chairman turned off the microphone.



Representative of Armenia, for his part, emphasized that Azerbaijan once again tried to disseminate anti-Armenian propaganda irrespectively of the agenda of the session. He also drew attention to the violence Azerbaijan used against the Armenian population of the republic.
