PanARMENIAN.Net - Submission of a resolution of Karabakh conflict to the UN General Assembly is a destructive move which can badly damage the negotiation process, Armenia’s top diplomat said.

“Majority of the UN member countries believe that such issues should not be raised in the General Assembly. In 2008, the resolution initiated by Azerbaijan was supported by 39 (majority of them being members of the Organization of Islamic Conference) out of 192 UN member countries. No member of the UN Security Council voted ‘for’ while the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries voted ‘against’,” Edward Nalbandian said during a meeting with the students of Yerevan State University.

“Baku is abusing the Islamic solidarity. It’s attempts to attach a religious coloring to Karabakh conflict are dangerous,” he added, RA MF press office reported.
