The UN Mission in Baku said the visit of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to the South Caucasus planned for late April will not take place. The reason is the workload of the Secretary General.
In turn, the UN mission in Yerevan, informing about the cancellation of the visit, referred to the Press Secretary of the UN Secretary General Stefan Dujarrick.
Dujarrick said the Secretary General postponed his visit for emergency reasons and at the end of April he is to be elsewhere. The South Caucasian visit will be revised.
Recall that Ban Ki-moon is due to visit Yerevan, Tbilisi and Baku from April 25. In Baku, he is to participate in the meeting of the Global Forum of Civilizations, scheduled for April 25-27. -02 / 16V-
