Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 23 / Trend, S. Agayeva /
California State Assembly Speaker John Perez has refused to visit
the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, an informed source told
Trend today.
This testifies to the fact that officials of foreign countries yield
to no Armenian persuasion and do not want to be included on the list
of undesirable individuals of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
Visiting Nagorno-Karabakh and other Azerbaijani regions occupied
by Armenia uncoordinated with Azerbaijan is considered illegal and
individuals who have paid such visits are included on a list of
undesirables of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, four foreign citizens who have been included in the list
of undesirables of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry for illegal visiting
the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia, are excluded from it.
In their appeals, they stressed that they were fraudulently taken to
the occupied territories.
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.
