Отрывок из речи Ильхама Алиева на 59-ой сессии Генеральной ассамблеи ООН. Другая сторона медали, как говорится...
Только на английском, правда, но не думаю, что этому место в English only, а, Моно?
Since the very day of its membership in the UN Azerbaijan constantly
draws attention of the international community to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh and the occupation by Armenia of the Azerbaijani territories. Azerbaijan expected UN to compel the aggressor to move out from its lands and to let expelled Azerbaijani population to return to their homes.
Should I remind that the Security Council in 1993 unanimously adopted
four resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 in response to the occupation by
Armenia of the territories of sovereign Azerbaijan?
These resolutions confirmed the Nagorno-Karabakh region as the part of
Azerbaijan, resolutely called for respect for the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan and its internationally recognized borders, and
underlined inadmissibility of the use of force for the acquisition of territory.
The UN resolutions demanded an immediate, complete and unconditional
withdrawal of occupying forces from all occupied areas of Azerbaijan and
establishment of conditions for safe return of displaced people to the places of their permanent residence.
None of these resolutions which were called to restore justice, peace and
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan has been implemented by Armenia which
never respected and recognized the fundamental principles of international law contained in the resolutions that laid down the basis for the settlement of this conflict.
Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 other regions of Azerbaijan, which makes 20%
of the territory of Azerbaijan, are for more than ten years occupied by Armenia.
As a result of the policy of ethnic cleansing conducted by Armenia more than 1 million of the Azerbaijani people became refugees and internally displaced people.
The silent stance of the Security Council had a devastating impact on the
settlement process. Ignoring the resolutions, trying to consolidate the results of its military aggression and not being punished for that, Armenia has
consequently launched an outrageous policy of the massive illegal settlement of Armenian population in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, which is another blatant violation of the international law, in particular the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 on the Protection of Civilians in the Times of War.
Moreover the situation deteriorates with the use of these territories for
drug trafficking, arms transfers, harboring terrorists, illegal economic activities, smuggling. The occupied Azerbaijani territories become kind of grey zone, out of control of the Azerbaijan's Government, areas free from any international monitoring.
Self-proclaimed, non-recognized so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh republic"
is a constant threat to peace and security in the whole region.
Armenian aggressors and Nagorno-Karabakh separatists are also
exploiting natural resources in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, trying to
engage overseas companies in the illegal business. I call upon the Member
States to take all necessary measures to make their nationals and companies to respect international law and prevent them from illegal activities on the territory of our country. Azerbaijan on its own part will undertake all necessary legal and practical measures to hold these companies accountable for participation in stealing the natural wealth belonging to a sovereign nation.
Furthermore, Armenia also falsifies the history and misappropriates the
cultural and architectural heritage of the Nagorno-Karabakh region of
Azerbaijan. Religious and historical monuments, ancient manuscripts and other cultural properties have been destroyed, re-fashioned, plundered and removed.
The process of political settlement of the conflict conducted within the
OSCE Minsk Group for the last 12 years, thus far has yielded no results. No
serious consideration has been given by OSCE Minsk Group to implementation
of the Security Council resolutions, assessment of the situation on the ground, and illegal activities carried out by Armenia on the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
It is obvious that under current passive and silent attitude of the UN, its
Security Council, OSCE and its Minsk Group and without strong pressure from
the international community, Armenia will not move from its aggressive and
destructive stance. The illegal actions of Armenia in the occupied Azerbaijani
territories and its position within the negotiation process prove that Armenia is aimed not at finding a solution to the problem but rather at prolongation further the negotiations and consolidating the results of the aggression, trying to impose in the end afait accompli-based settlement.
From this high podium I wish to stress that the settlement may be based
only on international law and democracy, not on ethnic cleansing and de-facto annexation of territory of a sovereign state.
Azerbaijan will never reconcile with the occupation of its territories,
violation of its territorial integrity and results of ethnic cleansing.
