General Assembly Security Council Sixty-Ninth Session Seventieth Year Agenda Items 33 and 38 United Nations A/69/815–S/2015/170 General Assembly Distr.: General 10 March 2015 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Sixty-ninth session Seventieth year Agenda items 33 and 38 Protracted conflicts in the GUAM area and their implications for international peace, security and development The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan Letter dated 9 March 2015 from the Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General Upon instructions from my Government, I have the honour to draw your attention to ongoing violations of the ceasefire by the Republic of Armenia recorded for February 2015 (see annex). During this period, the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia continued intensive fire from their positions in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan and from the territory of the Republic of Armenia on the positions of the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan. As a result, two Azerbaijani servicemen were killed and one was wounded. The Republic of Armenia violated the ceasefire 1,426 times. Azerbaijan strongly condemns the continuous attempts by Armenia to escalate the situation on the front line and the deliberate targeting of the civilian population and civilian facilities. Azerbaijan will continue to take resolute measures against and respond adequately to Armenia’s ongoing aggression, violations of the ceasefire and other provocative acts. Peace and stability are contingent upon ending Armenia’s occupation of the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan. As long as this occupation continues, human losses are inevitable on both sides, and the Republic of Armenia bears the full responsibility and should be held accountable. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 33 and 38, and of the Security Council.

    United Nations A/68/989–S/2014/658 General Assembly Distr.: General 12 September 2014 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Sixty-eighth session Sixty-ninth year Agenda items 34 and 38 Protracted conflicts in the GUAM area and their implications for international peace, security and development The situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan Letter dated 9 September 2014 from the Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General In accordance with instructions received from the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan, I have the honour to draw your attention to ongoing violations of the ceasefire by the Republic of Armenia recorded for August 2014 (see annex). During this period, the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia continued intensive fire from their positions in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and from the territory of Armenia at the positions of the armed forces of Azerbaijan, as well as at populated areas and civilian objects situated in the vicinity of the front line. As a result, nine Azerbaijani servicemen were killed and five servicemen and three civilians were wounded. Azerbaijan strongly condemns the incessant attempts by Armenia to escalate the situation on the front line and its increased and deliberate attacks on populated areas and civilian objects. Azerbaijan reserves its legitimate right to take appropriate measures to protect its population from the aggressor and respond to the ongoing violations of the ceasefire and other provocative acts. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 34 and 38, and of the Security Council.

  • Prevalence and Determinants of Stunting in a Conflict-Ridden Border Region in Armenia - a Cross-Sectional Study Arin A
    A. Balalian et al. BMC Nutrition (2017) 3:85 DOI 10.1186/s40795-017-0204-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and determinants of stunting in a conflict-ridden border region in Armenia - a cross-sectional study Arin A. Balalian1,2*, Hambardzum Simonyan1, Kim Hekimian3, Richard J. Deckelbaum3 and Aelita Sargsyan1 Abstract Background: Despite global efforts, stunting remains a public health problem in several developing countries. The prevalence of stunting among 0- to 5-year-old children in Armenia has increased from 17% in 2000 to 19% in 2010. A baseline study was conducted among preschool children in Berd, a region near the northeastern border of Armenia that has experienced intermittent military tension for over 20 years. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including 594 children aged 6-month- 6 years old and their caregivers in our analysis, to assess the prevalence and determinants of stunting. We calculated the anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin levels of children; analyzed children’s stool and conducted a survey with children’scaregivers.We employed the hierarchical logistic regression model to explore the predictors of stunting among 25–72 months old children and multivariable logistic regression models to investigate the predictors of stunting among 6–24 months old children. Individual and residence level variables were included in the models including anemia, minimum dietary diversity, mothers’ height, the overall duration of breastfeeding, birthweight, child’s history of diarrhea and mean socio-economic score. Results: The prevalence of stunting was significantly higher among the 6–24 months old children (13.3%) compared to the children aged 25–72 months old (7.8%).

Trust of this order has been earned through as much hard work as the scale and quality of completed projects. Despite the severe economic downturn that impacted Armenia and the rest of the world in 2010, the fund not only stayed the course, but went on to raise the bar in terms of fundraising objectives. Such a singular accomplishment belongs equally to the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund and the Armenian nation as a whole. Development projects implemented in 2010 as well as ongoing initiatives are of vital and strategic significance to our people.
