It Would’ve Been Possible to Present HAK’s Proposed Resolution at UN: Zurabyan

With the resolution it put forth to the UN, Azerbaijan is attempting to strengthen its attack and this time to capture the world’s attention on the so-called “occupied territories,” said Armenian National Congress (HAK) co-ordinator Levon Zurabyan. 

Seeing the inability of Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the ruling authorities, HAK is putting forth a draft resolution which, in Zurabyan’s words, “in the case of the presence of competent authorities in Armenia” would’ve been possible to present at the UN General Assembly. 

The resolution, in particular, makes references to numerous international norms that prohibit the use of force. Also, a number of documents are cited, which, according to Zurabyan, the authorities have forgotten about; the Dec. 6, 1994 Budapest Summit Declaration, for instance (in which the CSCE became an organization and changed its name to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE). 

According to Zurabyan, the HAK resolution doesn’t predetermine Armenia’s victory, but at least it provides an opportunity to fight in international organizations.

“Seeing the Armenian foreign ministry’s inaction and the ruling authorities’ illiteracy, HAK is forced to take on those functions,” added Zurabyan.
