The Acting President
The representative of Armenia has asked to speak in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted. I remind him that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Nazarian
I have requested the floor after the adoption of resolution 67/109 in order to present my delegation’s explanation of position.
First, we would like to express our regret that the consultation process on the text of the resolution was not sufficiently open and transparent. Despite what was just declared, the text was not extensively discussed. We would like to draw the attention of the sponsors,…
The Acting President
I shall now give the floor to representatives who have asked to speak in exercise of the right of reply.

Mr. Mehdiyev
I apologize to the Assembly, but it was not I who initiated this polemic. I did not plan to do so, but I have a moral duty to respond when my country is confronted by such a flood of lies and slander about it.

Mr. Nazarian
My delegation had no intention of using its right of reply a second time, but after hearing the representative of Azerbaijan’s unacceptable remarks it is hard to remain silent. It is particularly unethical to proceed with defamatory statements at a time when a large number of Member States are trying to contribute to the work of the General Assembly. We believe that the time has come for the Azer…
The Acting President
The Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 121.
