"The countries, co-chairing the OSCE Minsk Group, including Russia, occupied a stiff position on the issue of the UN resolution on Azerbaijan".


The due announcement was made by Vasily Istratov, Russia's ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Azerbaijan, commenting on the voting of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries at the UN General Assembly on the resolution, proposed by Azerbaijan.

According to the Russian diplomat, the co-chairing countries voted against the resolution, as they consider it to be unfair.

As has been reported previously, the delegates of the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution on Nagorno Karabakh by 39 voting for, 7 against and 100 abstaining from voting on March 15.

Among countries, which did not support the resolution, were the United States, France and Russia, mediating the negotiations on Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict over Nagorno Karabakh.
