Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Broadcasting of pro-Armenian film by Ukrainian
private TV channel Inter caused discontent of the government of
Ukraine.
Today Ukrainian ambassador to Azerbaijan Boris Klimchuk said that the
documentary broadcasted by Inter absolutely did not reflect Ukraine's
position in the issue of Nagorno Garabagh conflict between Armenia
and Azerbaijan.
"Unfortunately Inter diverges from principles of understanding
of that non-simple situation formed around the conflict. Inter is
an independent TV company, and the Ukrainian government does not
bear responsibility for materials it broadcasted. We, however, are
displeased with the broadcasted documentary. Ukraine's stand on the
conflict is unchangeable. We come forward for its fast settlement
on the basis of norms and principles of international law. Relevant
conversation has been held with the TV channel's management. They
made a mistake and we offer our apologies for it," the ambassador said.
Then film prepared and broadcasted by the Ukrainian TV channel distorts
essence of Garabagh conflict and brings arguments of only Armenian
party. The Azerbaijani Embassy in Ukraine handed over the note of
protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this country.
