Vestnik Kavkaza, Russia
Feb 26 2013
On 26 February Deputy Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Mahmud
Mammad-Guliyev received Vladimir Dorokhin, Ambassador of the Russian
Federation to Azerbaijan.
The Foreign Ministry's press service told APA that at the meeting
Deputy Minister Mammad-Guliyev expressed the concerns and protest
of the Azerbaijani side over the publication of an on-line article
entitled "Nagorno-Karabakh is used to being unrecognized for 25 years"
on the official website of RIA Novosti, the Russian State News Agency
on the eve of the anniversary of the Khojaly Genocide.
The Deputy Minister brought to Ambassador's attention the fact that
recently there has been an increase in the number of articles in the
Russian media which are directed against Azerbaijan. He underlined that
the publication of the article on the website of the Russian State
News Agency is particularly regrettable and overshadows the activity
of the Russian Federation towards a resolution of the conflict between
Armenia and Azerbaijan, as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.
The Deputy Minister also noted that the article does not reflect
reality, includes calls for encouraging separatism and extremism and
disrespects the principle of territorial integrity, a fundamental
principle of international law.
