Question - How does Armenia regard the fact that Azerbaijan continues with efforts to include the Nagorno Karabakh issue in the agenda of the 62nd General Assembly of the UN?

Answer – Currently there are two items included in the UN 61st General Assembly agenda that deal directly with the Karabakh conflict, one presented by Azerbaijan and the other by GUAM.

Neither of those items has been discussed during the 61st session yet. As such, the UN General Assembly Rules of Procedure envisage their inclusion in the provisional agenda of the General Assembly for the next session.

Agenda items are considered included in the agenda of the following session only if it is envisaged in respective provisions of a resolution or a decision or by an appropriate decision of the General Assembly at a given session, which can be disputed by another member state. The agenda item is not included in the Agenda of the UN General Assembly if rejected by it by a vote.

Question – How will the transfer of the NK issue into the UN affect the negotiation process?

Answer – Inclusion of items in the UN General Assembly agenda does not in any way mean that the resolution of the Karabakh conflict is an issue for discussion at the UN.
