The UN is ready to support Armenia and Azerbaijan in moving towards the normalization of relations. Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, stated this in an interview with the US Bureau of Report.

The UN does not need to play a leading role everywhere in solving peace and security problems. It know that when solving the issues between Azerbaijan and Armenia, other countries have already taken the initiative to find a peaceful solution. The UN-Secretary General doesn't want to involve himself in something just for the sake of being involved and maybe complicating matters, Dujarric said.

"However, we're always there to support the framework that already exists." added the representative of the UN Secretary General.

And commenting on the progress in the process of normalization of relations between Baku and Yerevan, Stephane Dujarric stated: "You possess a deeper understanding of this issue, having witnessed the recent developments. From my perspective as someone who is not steeped in this, it appears that significant steps have been taken in the past few weeks. The [UN] Secretary-General has welcomed it, and we are committed to supporting Armenia and Azerbaijan as they move on a path towards normalization."
