RUSSIAN PAPER REMOVES EXCERPTS OF "NKR PM'S" INTERVIEW FROM ITS WEBSITE

The Russian parliamentary newspaper has removed excerpts from the
Prime Minister of the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" Arayik
Harutyunyan's interview given to Reuters from its official website.
The Russian newspaper recently published excerpts from Harutyunyan's
interview given to Reuters, in which Nagorno-Karabakh has been
represented as an independent state.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry on Tuesday expressed concern over
the official publication of information where Nagorno-Karabakh has
been represented as an independent state.
The ministry's spokesman Elman Abdullayev said in an interview
with the media that the Azerbaijani embassy in Russia will receive
detailed guidelines for the proper reaction to these publications in
the newspaper.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 over Armenia's
territorial claims against Azerbaijan. The ensuing war that displaced
up to a million Azerbaijanis concluded with the signing of a fragile
ceasefire in 1994. Armenia has occupied about 20 percent of Azerbaijani
territory since the war, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region,
despite the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions urging its
pullout. Peace talks have been largely fruitless so far.
