AZERI EMBASSY CHALLENGES GARABAGH PART IN MOSCOW TOURISM SHOW
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
May 16 2006
The Azeri embassy in Moscow has sent a diplomatic note to the Russian
Foreign Ministry expressing protest at the invitation of an Upper
(Nagorno) Garabagh delegation to a tourism exhibition in Moscow on
May 11-14. There has been no reply from the ministry yet.
Earlier the embassy sent a protest note to the organizer of the show,
the Moscow City Tourism Committee, describing as a fake the exponents
presented as being of Armenian origin. The committee left the letter
unheeded.
On Saturday, the day of official opening, a group of young ethnic
Azeris living in Russia came to the exhibition venue draped in the
Azerbaijan national flags and encircled the exhibition pavilions in
protest. The young people said the exhibits described as Armenian
were actually Azerbaijani.
