  1. “Indeed, it is up to Azerbaijan to engage in the peace process constructively and to negotiate in good faith in order to achieve a speedy resolution to the conflict. My Government has always been an advocate of a peaceful resolution of conflict through mutual compromises based on the realities on ground.”

  2. “With regard to the Security Council resolutions mentioned by the representative of Azerbaijan, if one chooses to refer to a document it is imperative that the reference be made correctly. Armenia has done exactly what Security Council resolutions have called for: to use its good offices with the leadership of Nagorny Karabakh to help find a peaceful solution to the conflict through negotiations within the framework of the Minsk Group of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. It is particularly alarming that, despite the ceasefire in place and the peace negotiations under way, there are forces in Azerbaijan, including within high-level official circles, who are calling for a military solution of the conflict.”

  3. “Moreover, Azerbaijan's claim on Nagorny Karabakh and its blind adherence to the principle of territorial integrity is legally deficient and invalid, as Nagorny Karabakh has never been a part of independent Azerbaijan. It was arbitrarily incorporated into the administrative borders of Soviet Azerbaijan. Consequently, after the break-up of the Soviet Union, the people of Nagorny Karabakh peacefully exercised their right to self-determination through popular vote, in accordance with the laws and the constitution of the former Soviet Union and international law. Unfortunately, their quest for self-determination was answered by a military onslaught against them.”

  4. “In this regard, one cannot fail to recall the very crucial role that the United Nations, and the Security Council in particular, played in realizing one of its success stories, the case of Timor-Leste. Unfortunately, we in our region must also struggle to resolve conflicts and ensure peace and security. The conflict in Nagorny Karabakh was not the result of armed aggression, as Azerbaijan tries to present it, but the forced resort to self-defence of the Karabakh population. That was the only choice left to them in order to avoid mass deportation and massacre following their peaceful, legal and just quest for self- determination.”

  5. “We believe that such organizations are better placed and equipped to respond to particular disputes, and that they can contribute to the activities of the Security Council to that end. The Charter of the United Nations reaffirms our collective faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small. Indeed, this is what must be put at the core of our policies in order for us to succeed in our common struggle for peace and security in the world. This can be achieved by addressing the root causes of conflict, by promoting economic, social and cultural development and by ensuring universal respect for, and effective enjoyment of, human rights by all, including the right of peoples to self-determination.”

  6. “Certainly, the Security Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, as conferred upon it by the Charter of the United Nations. While modern threats to international peace and security are taking new shapes and forms, in its responses to various conflicts the Security Council should also make an effort, to the extent possible, to reflect the legal and historic aspects of conflicts. That could further enhance the effectiveness of the implementation of Security Council resolutions. We would also like to emphasise the role of the Security Council under Chapter VIII to encourage the pacific settlement of disputes through regional arrangements and agencies.”

  7. “At the outset, my delegation would like to congratulate Pakistan on its assumption of its duties as President of the Security Council. We would also like to congratulate Mexico on its successful completion of its presidency. Lastly, we would like to thank the delegation of Pakistan for organizing this very important meeting. We believe that this is an interesting and thought-provoking discussion that provides a good opportunity to once again pause and reflect upon the ever-important matters of international security and the peaceful settlement of disputes. In order to reach the noble objective of the peaceful coexistence of nations, vigorous action at the bilateral, regional and multilateral levels should be pursued.”
