SUBJECT: DEMARCHES DELIVERED: UNGA HUMAN RIGHTS RESOLUTIONS
REF: A) STATE 182267 B) STATE 184178 C) STATE 187018
Classified By: Poloff Masha Herbst for reasons 1.4 (b, d).
(C) Following the receipt of ref C, we followed up with
Valery Mkrtumian, head of the MFA's International
Organizations Department, to whom we delivered refs A and B
points
on November 3 and 7. Mkrtumian said Armenia would not
support the U.S.- and Canada-sponsored resolutions regarding
Iran and Belarus. He also said, however, that Armenia would
vote against the Iran-sponsored resolution on Canada, and
that the Armenian delegation would do its best to try to nip
the retaliatory Belarus-sponsored resolutions in the bud.
Mkrtumian said that, should the Belarusian resolutions go to
a vote, Armenia would vote against them. We will continue to
seek opportunities to push the Armenians on the Belarusian
resolutions per ref C.
