Baku publishes black list of Nagorno-Karabakh businesses
Baku. (Interfax-Azerbaijan) - The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has
published a list of foreign companies that are engaged in what Baku
views as illegal economic activities in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Certainly, this list is far from being full. An investigation and
information collection is continuing," Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry
spokesman Metin Mirza told Interfax on Saturday.
The list mainly contains companies developing international telephone
communications in Nagorno-Karabakh, including Daewoo Unitel (South
Korea), Kyivstar (Ukraine), Gruppo Telecom Mobile (Italy), and
Vodafone (Italy-Britain), Mirza said.
The French company Pernod Ricard, which exports grapes from
Nagorno-Karabakh, is also on the list, he said.
Interfax has so far been unable to obtain comments from these
companies.
The republic of Nagorno-Karabakh is a breakaway Azerbaijani territory
populated mostly by ethnic Armenians which has close economic and
military-political ties with Armenia. Azerbaijan is seeking to
restore control over the self-proclaimed republic.
