Armenia's Permanent Representative to the UN Karen Nazaryan has addressed a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, accusing Azerbaijan's authorities of distorting historical facts, impeding the process of negotiations and provoking military operations.

"Azerbaijan is instilling hostility, racism and prejudice against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh to justify its aggressive position," wrote Armenia's Representative to the UN and added that the hostile statements are accompany by the eradication of Armenian cultural heritage, according to Radio "Azatutyun".

"Unfortunately, despite Armenia's calls, the UN structures, particularly UNESCO, are not paying any attention to those facts of vandalism" Karen Nazaryan wrote to the UN Secretary General.

Nazaryan also underlined that Azerbaijan is violating the norms prescribed in the UN Charter, is impeding regional cooperation and is causing a threat to international security and peace with its policy.

"From the very first day, Azerbaijan adopted a policy on settling the Karabakh conflict through forceful measures. By continuing with that policy, Azerbaijan is not taking into account the UN Secretary General's, the OSCE-member countries', Minsk Group co-chairing countries' and other organizations' calls on reinforcing the ceasefire regime; is provoking incidents on the line of contact and is trying to impede the process of negotiations taking place within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group."
"If Azerbaijan is truly interested in the solution to the Karabakh issue, it should make efforts to play a real and not a formal role in the process of negotiations," Armenia's representative wrote in his letter to the UN Secretary General.
