GUAM Foreign Minister to discuss draft resolution of protracted conflicts

The Foreign Ministers of the GUAM, an alliance of Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova, intend to discuss in New York a draft resolution on lingering conflicts in their countries to aid it in the 62nd UN General Assembly.

“We [Foreign Ministers] will probably meet in New York late this September to discuss the draft document. We have decided to adjourn the issue from the 61st UN General Assembly to the 62nd session,” Elmar Mammadyarov, the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister, said in an interview with Trend in Brussels.

The draft resolution, especially referring to the conflicts of Transniestria, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Abkhazia, was devised and included in the agenda of the UN General Assembly at the end of 2006. This issue was excluded from the agenda by GUAM representatives themselves.

“The GUAM Foreign Ministers discussed this resolution, Mammadyarov said. Moldova and Georgia participated in the discussions. Though Ukraine did not attend the gathering, we are aware of its position,” he said. However, the ministers did not comment on whether or not the GUAM countries will gain support from the necessary number of UN countries for including the issue in the agenda and subsequent support during the discussion of the draft document at the session. -Armradio.am
