The Nagorno Karabakh Republic participated at the International
Tourism Fair in Milan with a separate booth this year. The four-member
delegation was headed by Sergey Shahverdyan, Head of the Department of
Tourism under the NKR Government, Pyunik Information center reports.
The Azerbaijan booth was placed next to that of Nagorno Karabakh. A
few hours after the start of the exhibition one of the members of the
Azerbaijani delegation declared that participation of Nagorno Karabakh
in the exhibition with a separate booth does not correspond to
international legal norms. He demanded from the delegation to leave
the booth and stop distributing information about Karabakh.
The same night the Azerbaijanis entered the NKR booth, stole the
booklets and the big stand reading `Mountainous Karabakh.'
Armenian Honorary Council Pietro Kochukian and head of the Karabakh
delegation Sergey Shahverdyan applied to the manager of the exhibition
with a request to prevent the future assaults.
The next day organizers of the event met with the Armenian and
Azerbaijani delegations. Azerbaijan's Ambassador to Italy was present
at the meeting.
The Azerbaijanis were demanding to close the NKR booth, noting that it
contradicts international law. The organizers of the expo said, in
response, that Azerbaijan has not chosen the proper place for such
discussions and added that the country will not be invited to
participate in the event next year if the behavior continues.
The next day Azerbaijan launched anti-Armenian propaganda, and the
Armenian delegation took measures to counter it.
