The Azerbaijani embassy in Canada is checking information about the
illegal visit of this county's MP Jim Karygiannis to the breakaway
Nagorno Karabakh region, spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry
Elman Abdullayev said in a briefing on Monday.
"The Foreign Ministry has already given the relevant instructions to
the Azerbaijani embassy in Canada," he said.
Information about the visit of a Canadian MP to Azerbaijan's occupied
territories was spread by an Armenian Media outlet today.
Earlier, four foreign citizens on a black list of Azerbaijan's Foreign
Ministry for their illegal trip to the Azerbaijani territories occupied
by Armenia, were excluded from it.
They pointed out in their appeals that they were brought to
Azerbaijan's occupied territories by fraud.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
