    The MPs protest the provocative information against Azerbaijan in
    the website of company functioning in this country.

    Head of the working group on Azerbaijan-Belgium Inter-parliamentary
    relations, MP Elkhan Suleymanov and member of the working group on
    Azerbaijan-Belgium Inter-parliamentary relations, MP Azer Karimli
    addressed Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium Steven Vanackere,
    ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium to Azerbaijan Luc Trujens, Head of
    the working group on Belgium-Azerbaijan Inter-parliamentary relations
    Philippe Blanchard and head of "Betravel" company on the report by
    "Betravel" company on proposal of a visit to Nagorno Karabakh in 2012.

    The addressing reads:

    "A provocative information was placed in "Betravel" company's website
    (http://betravel.be/optimum-travel.html). This information was also
    published in "La tribune de Bruxelles" newspaper, placed in iron
    boxes considered for free newspapers and magazines and distributed
    among the population.

    The company's website proposed the visit to Armenia and Nagorno
    Karabakh on September 15-27 2012. At the same time the historical facts
    were seriously distorted, Nagorno Karabakh was shown as independent
    country and the ancient Alban temples built in the 13th century were
    shown as Armenian churches.

    The authors reminded that Armenians were settled to that territory at
    the beginning of the 19th century, underlined that Nagorno Karabakh
    was the historical territory and integral part of Azerbaijan, was
    occupied by Armenian together with 7 regions, the ethnic cleansing
    policy was pursued against the local Azerbaijani population and
    demanded to stop this provocation by Armenians:

    "We demand the "Betravel" company to delete such provocative
    information from its official website. The visit to Nagorno Karabakh
    without the official permission of Azerbaijan state structures is
    assessed as the violation of Azerbaijan's boundary and disrespect to
    the state sovereignty. The foreign citizens who take such step are
    assessed the persona non-grata and are not allowed to Azerbaijani
    territories again.
