My delegation would like to express its deep concern over the irresponsible conduct of the delegation of Azerbaijan, which became a member of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) last year and, yet, has demonstrated to that body in Vienna, to the Special Political and Decoloniz…
