The introduction of the issue Lingering Conflicts on the Territories of GUAm Member-States to 61 st Session of UN General Assembly as a result of joint efforts of the GUAM member-states is likely to have an effect, Azerbaijan`s Milli Majlis (Parliament) Vice-Speaker Bahar Muradova exclusively told Trend.
Notably that today, on September 14, the issue Lingering Conflicts on GUAM Member-States Territories has been introduced to the agenda of 61 st Session of UN General Assembly. On September 13, UN General Assembly General Committee declined the GUAM`s request. Totally 16 countries including Turkey, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Great Britain, US, and others voted for the introduction of this item to the agenda, and 15 countries including Russia, Algeria, Greece, Indonesia, South Africa, Armenia, and others said no to it, with 65 countries abstaining. The delegations of 96 countries did not attend at all.
GUAM member-states insist on considering this issue by the UN General Assembly, asserting that the international mediation in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh, Georgian-Abkhazian, Georgian-South-Ossetian, and Transdniestr conflict has not give any results.
Mrs. Muradova pointed out that UN General Assembly`s discussing not only the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but also all other conflicts on the territories of GUAM member-states will become the reason of the international community`s attention to these countries. The Vice-Speaker pointed out that certain efforts connected with conflicts resolution have not brought any achievements. From this point of view, it is necessary to positively apprehend GUAM`s efforts on the introduction of such issues to such an authoritative and powerful organization as UN General Asembly, she underlined.
