Germany does not recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh regime or its
representations, the German Embassy in Azerbaijan stated.
"Germany has not changed its position," the embassy's statement reads.
"The country recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and does not recognize the regime of Nagorno-Karabakh, or its
representations."
The Azerbaijani embassy in Berlin has recently sent a note to the
German Foreign Ministry demanding to prevent holding of a concert
dedicated to the Nagorno-Karabakh separatist regime in the German city
of Stuttgart. The concert "20th anniversary of Artsakh" dedicated to
the so-called "20th anniversary of independence" of the puppet regime
in Nagorno-Karabakh is scheduled for Sept.16-22.
Germany still pursues the policy of non- recognizing the so-called
"Nagorno Karabakh Republic" and its institutions. The German state
agencies do not have any links with the organization Friends of
Artsakh and similar structures, the embassy reported.
The organization Friends of Artsakh is one of the organizers of the
event in Stuttgart.
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 7 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 the 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.
