The issue on "frozen conflicts" in the GUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Moldova) countries will be discussed at the spring session of the UN General Assembly, permanent representative of Moldova in UN Aleksey Tulbure told the journalists.

He said that the preliminary variant of draft resolution proposed by GUAM countries has been prepared, APA reports.

"Agreements with some countries especially with Russia on discussion of the resolution continue. I consider that we will achieve improvement on this issue in UN GA. there is nothing shocking in our proposed resolution, we have refused confrontation," he said.

Aleksey Turbule added that new form of the resolution has been mitigated a little bit.

"Some issues concerning withdrawal of troops from the territory of the country, which can be raised by individual countries, have not been included into the draft resolution. We do not demand arrival of the UN peacekeepers. The authors of the resolution are satisfied by only confirming their territorial integrity. This variant of the resolution has more chance to be adopted in UN General Assembly. GUAM countries intend to use tribune of UN to draw attention to present problems in GUAM region. Russia is against the resolution. But if Russia will be against, it will cause problem for it," he said.
