General Assembly Security Council Sixty-fourth session Sixty-fifth year Agenda items 13, 14 and 18

Prevention of armed conflict

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 4 March 2010 from the Permanent Representative of to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General

I am writing with regard to the continued efforts of the Azerbaijani authorities to mislead the international community with regard to the roots and causes of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, its legal aspects, the negotiation process within the Minsk Group, and now on the actual situation on the line of contact and violations of the ceasefire regime in place since 1994. As it becomes obvious from the information on the ceasefire violations annexed to this letter, there is a continuous effort from the Azerbaijani side to destabilize the situation in the region with the aim of justifying its destructive stance with regard to the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, which should be achieved through a just and balanced agreement based on the principles of non-use of force or threat of force, territorial integrity, and the equal rights and self- determination of peoples, as reiterated in the OSCE Ministerial Statement in Athens on 2 December 2009. Both the authorities of the Republic of Armenia and those of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic have always advocated for peace and stability in the region as a whole. Any destabilization of the situation on the ground comes from the Azerbaijani side, which has registered 205 violations of the ceasefire regime with 5,361 shots fired in the period from November 2009 to February 2010. We do hope that Azerbaijan will revisit its decision to reject the call from the Minsk Group Co-Chairs for the removal of snipers from the line of contact and consolidation of the ceasefire, allowing the situation to calm down and saving many civilian lives that fall victim to indiscriminate fire in the area.
