Origin
2023 - Third part-session
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 14 with the following paragraph:

"In the full recognition of Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, the Assembly underlines the need to achieve normalisation of their relations, and to this end, it strongly supports the negotiations on a peace agreement between the two countries to ensure lasting peaceful coexistence, reconciliation, and cooperation in the region. It also strongly encourages both countries to invest all efforts towards the opening of all transport communications in the region, including the route between Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan region. In the meantime, it urges Azerbaijan to take necessary measures at its disposal to address electricity and gas supply issues without delay or impediment."

Explanatory note

Interruptions are not directly related to Azerbaijan. The International Court of Justice rejected the respective claim by Armenia. The amendment serves to reflect this matter. Furthermore, Azerbaijan, with its own resources, repeatedly redressed electricity and gas supply failures to the region which happened as a result of dilapidated infrastructure and severe climate.
