Trend:
Ambassador of Azerbaijan to the UK, Fakhraddin Gurbanov expressed
protest against UK photojournalist Anastasia Taylor-Lind's visit to
Nagorno-Karabagh, Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia.
The protest came after Taylor-Lind's article, which was published in
the Guardian.
Azerbaijan's ambassador published an article in the Guardian,
as a response to Taylor-Lind's report, where he stresses that all
unauthorised visits to the region of Nagorno-Karabakh and other
occupied territories of Azerbaijan are illegal.
As Gurbanov said Ms Taylor-Lind should, rather, visit Azerbaijan to
witness the plight of hundreds of thousands of internally displaced
persons who were forced to flee their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh.
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.
