Azerbaijan voices concern over reports of Karabakh separatists' meeting in UK
Baku, 15 June: The Azerbaijani embassy in the UK has sent a letter to
the British Foreign Office related to reports in Armenian media about
meetings held by Nagornyy Karabakh separatists in the parliament of
this country, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev
has said.
He said the embassy had also held several meetings to this end and
expressed concern over the participation of separatists at a meeting
of the Armenia-Britain friendship group.
In a reply to the Azerbaijani embassy, the British Foreign Office
reiterated its support for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. The
letter says that the parliamentary group is an informal interest group
which does not reflect the official position of the British government
and parliament.
"This shows that Armenian media have once again distorted facts. Their
report is nothing but provocation," Abdullayev said.
The Azerbaijani embassy in Britain found out that the presence of
Nagornyy Karabakh separatists at the meeting of the Armenia-Britain
friendship group had been initiated by Baroness Caroline Cox.
Some Armenian media reported on a visit of a delegation of Nagornyy
Karabakh separatists to London on 13 June. They claimed that the
delegation had held meetings in the House of Lords and participated in
an annual meeting of the Armenia-Britain friendship group. The
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry had tasked the embassy in the UK to
investigate this information.
