The Garabagh Liberation Organization (GLO) has issued a statement
protesting against the visit of Goran Lennmarker, the special envoy
of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly chairman, to Upper Garabagh without
prior permission from Baku.
The statement accuses Lennmarker's step of being consistent with the
pro-Armenian standpoint of the organization that he represents. It
also stresses that the self-proclaimed regime in Upper Garabagh is
braced to hold "elections" and adopt a "constitution" because of the
inefficient policy of the Azerbaijani government.
"The GLO considers that there is no need for the international
organizations, which have for 16 years remained indifferent to
the violation of the Azerbaijani people's rights, shown disrespect
to Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and sovereignty and taken a
pro-Armenian standpoint, to function in Azerbaijan," the statement
underlines. The GLO also states that it has announced Lennmarker,
Terry Davis and other "peace envoys" persona non grata for Azerbaijan
and will attempt to prevent their visits to the country.
