It is the long-standing position of our Group that making the Security…
It is a great honour for me to speak at this High-level Meeting on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Armenia. We would like to express the hope that this Meeting will, under the auspices of the United Nations, raise international cooperation to a qualitatively new level, so that we may cou…
This High-level Dialogue is in itself proof that the problem of regulating migration processes has long transcended nations and States and even bilateral and regional cooperation. Today, it is truly a global problem. For Armenia, regulating migration is an issue of strategic importance, since, after…
At the outset, I would like to join other speakers in congratulating Mr. Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), on the award of the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize to the Agency and to him personally. I thank him also for the comprehensive annual report on the w…
I am taking the floor to respond to some of the unfounded accusations and misrepresentations that appeared in the statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister in the general debate on 18 September 2005.
First, regarding his reference to the territory surrounding Nagorny Karabakh, those territories…
Let me first welcome you, Sir, to your position. I know we will enjoy working with you, given our past experience. Let me also express our appreciation to the outgoing President for the leadership that he provided during the previous session.

I should like first of all to congratulate Mr. Jan Eliasson on his election as President of the General Assembly at its sixtieth session.
Five years have passed since heads of State or Government adopted the Millennium Declaration here in the General Assembly, thereby committing themselves to attai…
Armenia dissociates itself from the consensus on the decision to transfer the consideration of agenda item 40 to the sixty-first session of the General Assembly. Almost two years ago this item was introduced into the agenda of the General Assembly on the pretext of urgency. At the time, Armenia uneq…
Almost one year ago, agenda item 163 was included in the agenda of the General Assembly on the pretext of urgency. At that time, Armenia unequivocally opposed the introduction of the item, stating clearly that all allegations levelled against Armenia were false, and suggested facilitating the dispat…
About a month ago the General Assembly began discussing concerns over the situation in the so-called occupied territories of Azerbaijan. This was done under the guise of urgency, using procedural loopholes, without any substantiation of the argument of urgency and without any factually
correct info…
I have not yet finished my statement. I ask for permission to complete it.
Those territories currently serve as a buffer zone between Nagorny Karabakh and Armenia, since the
conflict has not yet been settled. A 10-year self- maintained ceasefire is holding, without a single peacekeeper on the grou…
Rule 23 of the rules of procedure states that debate on the inclusion of an item on the agenda “shall be limited to three speakers in favour of, and three against, the inclusion”. I am speaking against.
We are facing a situation today where an attempt is being made to introduce a new agenda item, using procedural loopholes and under the pretext of urgency, in the absence of factual evidence.
The General Committee, despite the fact that a number of General Committee members objected to the inclusio…
At the outset, my delegation would like to thank the Secretary-General for the comprehensive and informative report submitted under the agenda item before us.

First of all, I would like to thank the Secretary-General for the informative reports he has submitted to us.
Today we are seeing that growing globalization also has effects on international organizations. On the one hand, those organizations complement each other’s activities; and, on the other ha…
We wish to extend our congratulations to you, Sir, on your election to the presidency of the fifty-ninth session of the General Assembly. We would also like to thank to Mr. Julian Hunte and the Secretary-General for their efforts during this difficult year.
Last year, we expressed our concern about…
I ask for your indulgence, Mr. President, in taking the floor a second time.
The representative of Azerbaijan made many absurd allegations, but I will limit my second response
to two major issues. First, his reference to so-called aggression by the Republic of Armenia against his country was, agai…
I would like to respond to the statement made by the Azerbaijani delegation, in which several references to my country were made.
The use of the problem of refugees as a propaganda tool is best illustrated by the fact that Azerbaijan continues to speak about 1 million refugees during the current se…
Azerbaijan’s claim for the restoration of its territorial integrity is historically, legally and politically deficient, since Nagorny Karabakh has never been a part of independent Azerbaijan. The only period when Azerbaijan enjoyed sovereignty over the Nagorny Karabakh autonomous region was under th…
