Uzbekistan absent at Antalya Summit due to Declaration

Uzbekistan representatives attended the meeting of working group preparing draft declaration two days before the summit, diplomatic sources told APA.

The issue concerning Nagorno Karabakh conflict caused divergence at the meeting. Uzbekistan representatives were satisfied with the reiteration of the UN four resolutions and the demand of the implementation, but they objected repetition of the Organization of Islamic Conference's decision and other statements condemning Armenian aggression.

Uzbekistan representatives failed to reach common agreement with other representatives and left the meeting.
