The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs has expressed regret
at material about Karabakh, displayed on the Armenian stand at a
Geneva book fair
Azerbaijan's embassy in Switzerland had sent a note of protest about
the material to the Swiss Federal Department.
The material violating Azerbaijan's territorial integrity was
displayed at the Armenian stand at the 25th International Book and
Press Exhibition in Geneva on 29 April 2011, the note said.
The Federal Department expressed its regret that material distorted by
the Armenians was displayed at the exhibition.
The Federal Department said that only the exhibitor bore
responsibility for material at the exhibition and legal proceedings
would be possible only if Swiss law had been violated.
The Federal Department said in its letter that the Swiss government
considered the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region and adjacent regions
to be Azerbaijani territory and recommended Swiss citizens not to
travel to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
