    AZERBAIJAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SENDS LETTER TO UN SECRETARY GENERAL

    APA, Azerbaijan
    Aug 21 2013

    [ 21 August 2013 19:16 ]

    Elmar Mammadyarov informed Ban Ki-moon about Armenia's efforts to
    illegally change the demographic, cultural and physical character of
    the occupied territories of Azerbaijan

    Baku. Victoria Dementyeva - APA. Azerbaijan's Minister of Foreign
    Affairs Elmar Mammadyarov has sent a letter to Secretary General of
    the United Nations Ban Ki-moon regarding the situation in the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan, APA reports. In the letter dated July 19,
    I have already informed you that Armenia, taking advantage of the
    ceasefire regime, continues to undertake efforts to illegally change
    the demographic, cultural and physical character of the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan, including but not limited to establishing
    new settlements, restoring the airport, building residential areas,
    highways, etc: "Armenia falsifies and illegally changes the original
    toponyms in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. According to
    mass media reports, Armenia also is about to start the construction
    of a 150-apartment building in Qubadly (Azerbaijan), as well as the
    Kalbajar (Azerbaijan) to Vardanis (Armenia) highway. Both Qubadly and
    Kalbajar are occupied districts located beyond the Nagorno-Karabakh
    region of Azerbaijan."

    Mammadyarov noted that Armenia continues its illegal policy of transfer
    and resettlement of Syrian Armenians in the occupied territories
    of Azerbaijan. Our reliable sources confirm that most recently 24
    Armenian families have been resettled in Lachin, 7 in Zangilan, and 27
    in Kalbajar (the list of resettled persons is enclosed). Additional
    18 Armenian families from Syria will soon be transferred into the
    occupied territories of Azerbaijan: "This demonstrates the real
    intention of Armenia, which uses the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria
    for consolidation of its occupation of Azerbaijani territories. By
    abusing the negotiation process and carrying out illegal activities
    in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, Armenia attempts to impose
    a fait accompli, thus undermining the prospects of a negotiated
    settlement of the conflict and restoration of peace and security in
    the region. In the light of the lack of progress in the negotiation
    process the illegal actions in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan
    reveal Armenia's destructive position aimed at annexation of these
    territories."
