Azerbaijan has expressed a protest to Tanzania, Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev said.
"The Azerbaijani Embassy in Egypt, also accredited to Tanzania sent
a note to this country's Foreign Ministry," Abdullayev said.
According to Abdullayev, the note reflects a protest in connection
with indication of Nagorno-Karabakh as a separate country on the
website of Tanzanian Foreign Ministry.
"Azerbaijan demanded from Tanzania rapid removal of this information
from its Foreign Ministry's website," Abdullayev said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent 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.
