Mr. Amba
My delegation is obliged to take the floor in response to the statement made by the representative of India a short while ago. We categorically reject India’s wilful propaganda against the Katarpur corridor. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, took that landmark initiative last year in the openly hostile environment created by the belligerence and warmongering of our eastern neighbour sol…
Mr. Musayev
There is nothing surprising in the inadequate, irrelevant and unethical comments just made by the representative of Armenia. His allegations once again eloquently confirm that culture, peace and dialogue are alien to Armenia. The representative of Armenia went so far as to lecture others about principles and values that his Government has consistently disregarded and opposed.
The purpose of Arme…
Mr. Knyazyan

In our assessment of the record of Azerbaijan in promoting intercultural dialogue, we proceed not from the number of window-dressing events but from the dire realities on the ground.
Although positioning itself as a model of tolerance and multiculturalism, in real…
