Vote Consensus — A/71/PV.48
Speeches following this vote (12)
The Acting President
Before giving the floor to speakers in explanation of vote or position on the resolutions just adopted, I should like to remind delegations that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Samvelian
While my delegation joined in the consensus on resolution 71/15, we would like to express our concern about the fact that one of the resolution’s main sponsors, Azerbaijan, has regularly misused the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development in order to present its distorted interpretation of the process for resolving the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh. That does not contribute in any way …
Ms. Aristotelous
Regarding resolution 71/16, entitled “Cooperation between the United Nations and the Economic Cooperation Organization”, my delegation would like to state for the record that Cyprus dissociates itself from the consensus on the resolution for the following reasons.
In operative paragraph 2, the resolution takes note of the Baku Declaration, issued at the twelfth Economic
Cooperation Organization…
The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of vote or position after the voting.
I now give the floor to those representatives who wish to speak in exercise of the right of reply. I would like to remind members that statements in exercise of the right of reply are limited to 10 minutes for the first intervention and to five minutes for the second, and should be made by delegations from their …
Mr. Aliyev
The irrelevant statements made by the representative of Armenia with regard to two of the resolutions just adopted by the General Assembly are examples of its attempts to create an erroneous impression of the real situation and deflect the international community’s attention from the urgent need to address the chief problems caused by Armenia’s continued aggression against Azerbaijan. Armenia’s a…
Mr. Samvelian
It should be emphasized that many conflicts, including that in Nagorno Karabakh, are the result of systematic violations of human rights, aggravated by precarious situations where the rule of law is concerned. Countries that violate human rights systematically and unapologetically tend to be part of the problem rather than the solution when it comes to resolving such conflicts. Azerbaijan’s appal…
The Acting President
I remind speakers once again to limit their statements to five minutes.
Mr. Aliyev
The remarks just made by the representative of Armenia are distorting, as well as self-contradictory in their substance and unacceptable in their tone. He goes so far as to lecture other
Member States on principles and values that in fact his Government consistently disregards and opposes.
In reality, the primary objective of the ongoing peace process aimed at resolving the conflict in and arou…
Mr. Samvelian
I will be brief. In order to demonstrate its commitment to the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan should as a first step engage immediately and unconditionally in the implementation of the agreements reached in Vienna and Saint Petersburg in May and June. A refusal to implement them will leave it with the burden of full responsibility for the lack of progress in sett…
The Acting President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of sub-items (d), (i), (l), (o), (u), (v), (w), (x) and (y) of agenda item 126?
The Acting President
Before concluding the meeting, however, I would like to appeal to those Member States intending to submit draft resolutions on the remaining sub-items to do so as soon as possible.
The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 126 and its remaining sub-items.
Programme of work
The Acting President
Finally, I should like to consult members regarding an extension of the work of the Second Committee. Members will recall that at its 2nd plenary meeting, on 16 September 2016, the General Assembly approved
the recommendation of the General Committee that the Second Committee complete its work by Wednesday, 23 November. However, I have been informed by the Chair of the Second Committee that the …
