    Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic

    Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic

    Recently, Azerbaijan has intensified its attempts to cast doubt on the
    expediency of visiting the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) by foreign
    citizens.

    The NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs states another destructive
    initiative of official Baku. The Azerbaijani leadership's attempts to
    interfere with the processes concerning the interests of the
    neighboring Nagorno Karabakh Republic are groundless and must be
    considered as another manifestation of hostility towards our country.

    For two decades, the NKR has developed as an independent and
    democratic state, which is able to defend its sovereignty and ensure
    all the democratic rights and liberties for its citizens. Since the
    declaration of its independence, our country has been visited by tens
    of thousands of guests from many states of the civilized world.
    Missions of international organizations, including NGOs, and
    business-companies constantly operate in the Republic. Annually, the
    NKR MFA registers average 15-percent increase of the number of
    tourists, which testifies to the sincere and increasing interest of
    the international community towards the Karabakh phenomenon.

    Unfortunately, any testimony for the consolidation of the NKR
    statehood causes inadequate reaction by Baku, as a result of which the
    Azerbaijani authorities often resort to a state blackmail or other
    typical actions contradicting the modern system of international legal
    and moral standards.

    The recent initiative is encroachment on the interests of the Karabakh
    people by Baku impeding confidence-building between the AR and NKR,
    which is a necessary term for an efficient settlement of the
    Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict.

    The Azerbaijani leadership should refuse of its destructive steps and
    direct its political potential to the negotiations on the achievement
    of mutually acceptable peace and stability in the South Caucasus, with
    the consideration of the existing realities.
