The Azerbaijani embassy in Switzerland and Liechtenstein has sent a
protest note to the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in
connection with demonstrating the materials distorting the territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan in the Armenian stands at the international
exhibition of books and press in Geneva, the Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry said.
The Embassy has informed exhibition~Rs organizers about these
facts. Ambassador Murad Najafbayli met with the heads responsible
for organizing the exhibition Bernard Quiot and Adeline Beaux. He
expressed Azerbaijan's concern and called for the removal of these
materials from the exhibition stand.
The note explains the essence of the protest. It has requested that
the Swiss side take appropriate due measures.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
