PACE vice-president: UN document on Azerbaijani occupied territories to weaken Armenia's position

A UN document on Azerbaijani occupied territories would further weaken the position of Armenia, Samad Seyidov, the PACE vice-president, chairman of international relations and interparliamentary relations of the Azerbaijani Parliament, has said in an interview with the official website of the ruling party of Azerbaijan.

"Armenia is deeply concerned about the discussion of this issue at the UN. They understand that the adoption of this document will further weaken the position of the occupying country," Seyidov said.

A number of documents on the South Caucasus will be considered at the plenary session of UN General Assembly, to be held on Sept. 7. A draft resolution entitled "The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan" will be considered.

Seyidov said that in any case this document is important. The more countries support the position of Azerbaijan, the better, he said.

Seyidov said that the main point is that the world community would have to express its opinion about the occupation after this issue is discussed by authoritative international organizations. The adoption of any document on the basis of these discussions is very significant for efforts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he said.
