The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry delivered a note of protest to the
Russian ambassador in connection with an article about Nagorno-Karabakh
published in RIA Novosti, the Foreign Ministry press-service said
today.
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud Mammad-Guliyev presented
a note of protest to Vladimir Dorokhin, Ambassador of the Russian
Federation to Azerbaijan.
At the meeting, Azerbaijani Deputy Minister Mahmud Mammad-Guliyev
expressed his country's concerns over the publication of an online
article entitled "Nagorno Karabakh is used to being unrecognized'"
on the official website of Ria Novosti, Russian State News Agency on
the eve of the anniversary of Khojaly Genocide.
The Deputy Minister brought the fact that recently there has been
an increase in the number of articles in the Russian media directed
against Azerbaijan to the ambassador's attention. He underlined that
the publication of the article on the website of the Russian State
News Agency is particularly regretful and overshadows the work of
the Russian Federation towards the resolution of the conflict between
Armenia and Azerbaijan, as Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.
The Deputy Minister also noted that the article does not reflect
reality, includes calls for separatism and extremism and disrespects
the principle of territorial integrity.
Referring to the bilateral agreement on "Friendship, cooperation and
mutual security" signed between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the
Russian Federation on July 3, 1997, the Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign
Minister reminded that Article 5 of the said agreement says that both
states condemn all forms of separatism and take the obligation not
to support separatist movements directed against the sovereignty,
independence and territorial integrity of the two states and to ban
and prevent the establishment and activities of such organizations,
groups and individuals in their territories.
It was underlined that the provocative article published online does
not coincide with the spirit of friendship and cooperation between
Azerbaijan and Russia and damages the long-established good neighborly
relations in contradiction of the essence and articles of the aforesaid
bilateral agreement.
Presenting a note of protest to the Russian Ambassador, Deputy
Minister Mahmud Mammad-Guliyev expressed hope that the issue will
be closely examined and appropriate measures will be taken by the
Russian Federation.
