United Nations A/67/977*–S/2013/526* General Assembly Distr.: General 5 September 2013 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Sixty-seventh session Sixty-eighth year Agenda items 34 and 39 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 30 August 2013 from the Chargé d’affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission 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 armed forces of the Republic of Armenia recorded for July 2013. As is seen from the annexed information, during the reporting period, the armed forces of Armenia continued intensive fire from their positions in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and from the territory of Armenia (see annex). As a result, one serviceman of the armed forces of Azerbaijan was killed. I would also like to refer to the letter dated 16 August 2013 from the Permanent Representative of Armenia to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General (A/67/965-S/2013/497), the content of which demonstrates the unconcealed nervousness of the Armenian side with regard to the information on ceasefire violations by the armed forces of Armenia that Azerbaijan regularly brings to the attention of the Secretary-General and the States Members of the United Nations. The aforementioned letter from the Permanent Representative of Armenia to the United Nations contains in an annex the so-called comparative analysis, according to which ceasefire violations reported by Azerbaijan allegedly do not coincide with the operational data of the armed forces of Armenia. Based on the absurd conclusions of its “analysis”, the Armenian side tries to convince the international community that Azerbaijan allegedly overstates the number of ceasefire violations and presents their exaggerated data. The arguments of Armenia are flat nonsense for at least one simple reason. It would be strange, to say the least, if the operational data of Armenia which is responsible for violations of ceasefire would coincide with the information on the number and consequences of such violations reported by Azerbaijan. * Reissued for technical reasons on 17 September 2013. 13-46612* (E) 250913 *1346612* A/67/977 S/2013/526 The “comparative analysis” also gives rise to another interesting observation. Thus, according to it, of the 508 instances of ceasefire violations by the armed forces of Armenia reported by Azerbaijan during the months of April and May 2013, only 57 coincided with the operational data of the Armenian side. In other words, Armenia admitted that it had violated the ceasefire regime at least 57 times. Such a revelation is essential because it disproves all previous statements of the Armenian side on its alleged observance of the ceasefire and adherence to the negotiated settlement of the conflict. There is no doubt that, in reality, the main obstacles to a peaceful settlement of the conflict are continuing illegal occupation by Armenia of the territories of Azerbaijan, Yerevan’s unconcealed annexationist intentions and its apparent disrespect for the Charter of the United Nations and international law. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the sixty-seventh session of the General Assembly, under agenda items 34 and 39, and of the Security Council.
