UN News Center,
14 March 2008
14 March 2008 - The General Assembly today adopted a resolution on the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan in which it called for the immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian forces "from all the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan."
With 39 votes in favour, seven against and 100 abstentions, the Assembly adopted a text that also called for "continued respect and support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders."
The resolution reaffirmed "the inalienable right of the population expelled from the occupied territories" of Azerbaijan to return to their homes, and to achieve that end it underlined the need for the comprehensive rehabilitation of all conflict-affected territories.
No State should recognize as lawful the current situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, nor provide aid or assistance to maintain that situation, according to the text, which also called for "normal, secure and equal conditions of life for Armenian and Azerbaijani communities in the Nagorno-Karabakh region" so that "an effective democratic system of self-governance" can be built up.
In addition, the resolution voices support for international mediation efforts to the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, particularly the work of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group Co-Chairmen.
