UNSC to eye issue of illegal settlement of Syrian Armenians in Karabakh

09 August 2012 [13:27] - TODAY.AZ
The UN Security Council, upon the request of Azerbaijan, will examine the reliability of the Armenian media reports that Yerevan is planning or already involved in settling Azerbaijan’s occupied Karabakh region with Armenian refugees from Syria and Lebanon.
 
"We have raised this issue at the UNSC and asked the relevant Security Council bodies dealing with Syria to draw attention to this," Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the UN Agshin Mehdiyev told Lider TV Channel.

Mehdiyev said the UN Security Council assured the Azerbaijani side that it will study the case.  ‘If the reports confirmed, then we can demand from the OSCE Minsk Group to take certain measures and to raise this issue at the UN Security Council in a different way,” he noted.
