    UK URGES TRAVEL AGENCY TO VISIT BREAKAWAY AREA VIA AZERBAIJAN -
    SPOKESMAN


    14 January: The British government has insistently recommended that
    the British travel agency Sunvil Discovery appeal to the Baku
    government when organizing tours to Azerbaijan's [Armenian-]occupied
    territory of Nagornyy Karabakh, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry
    spokesman, Xazar Ibrahim, has said. Ibrahim noted that he was quoting
    a letter that the British embassy in Azerbaijan had received.

    "The British government has insistently recommended that the travel
    agency refrain from organizing any tours to the occupied territories
    or appeal directly only to Azerbaijan when doing so, because the
    position of the international community, including the UK, is that
    Nagornyy Karabakh is Azerbaijan's territory. In general, if anyone
    wants to visit Nagornyy Karabakh and other occupied areas, they
    should directly appeal to the Azerbaijani government," Ibrahim said.

    [Azerbaijani news agency APA, Baku, in Azeri 0747 gmt 12 Dec 07
    quoted the press secretary of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture and
    Tourism as saying that the Azerbaijani government had sent a protest
    letter to the UK over the activity of the British travel agency
    Sunvil Discovery that organizes special tours to Nagornyy Karabakh
    and insisted that the special tours be stopped.]
