Read it in Russian

Vote on the Azerbaijan-introduced resolution of UN General Assembly on Nagorno-Karabakh has inspired Yerevan, REGNUM correspondent in Yerevan quotes Viktor Sogomonyan, press secretary of Armenia's president, to state at a press conference on March 17.

According to Sogomonyan, the Armenian side has been inspired by the fact that “all civilized countries either abstained from the vote, or disapproved the resolution,” realizing that it might aggravate the situation. Commenting on the question whether the Armenian side was going to halt negotiations with Azerbaijan, Sogomonyan observed that such a step of Azerbaijan in UN raised a number of questions, in particular, how serious is Baku about the negotiation process.

He said, however, that the issue is not so far on the table. Speaking of the fact of the resolution's being adopted, he stated that it was quite predictable. “It is not the first instance when an Azerbaijan-initiated legally non-binding document is passed. The Armenian side is not worried about it,” Sogomonyan concluded.
