Foreign Ministry: Azerbaijan will strengthen efforts to stop illegal
visits to occupied territories
Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 13 /Trend/
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry will strengthen efforts to stop illegal
visits to the occupied territories, the spokesman for Azerbaijani
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Elman Abdullayev told journalists on
Saturday.
He said instructions on intensification of efforts in this direction
were given to diplomatic missions of Azerbaijan in foreign countries.
According to Abdullayev, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has expressed
dissatisfaction to Lithuanian Foreign Ministry on the recent illegal
visit of Lithuanian musicians to Nagorno-Karabakh.
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.
