The Lithuanian embassy in Azerbaijan was not informed earlier about
the visit of Dalia KuodytÄ - , the member of Seimas [the Lithuanian
Parliament], to Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan's historical territories
occupied by Armenia.
The news was announced by the Lithuanian embassy in Azerbaijan on
September 2 which commented on the visit of the Seimas member to
Azerbaijan's occupied territories.
Armenian media said that Dalia KuodytÄ - visited the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh on September 1, where she
met with representatives of the separatist regime.
"This visit was private," the embassy told Trend Agency.
Unauthorized visits to Nagorno-Karabakh and other regions of
Azerbaijan which are occupied by Armenia are considered illegal, and
the individuals who pay such visits are included in Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry's "black list".
Azerbaijan has repeatedly warned foreign officials and diplomats about
visits to its territories that are occupied by Armenia, calling it
contradictory to international laws.
Baku has stated that such visits, paid without prior notification to
the relevant authorities of Azerbaijan, are illegal and damage the
settlement process of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The Foreign Ministry released a list of 335 people in 2013 declaring
'persona non grata' any illegal visits to the Armenian-occupied
territories. Some of these people were removed from the list after
appealing to the Azerbaijani government to forgive them.
Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a lengthy war that ended with the
signing of a fragile ceasefire in 1994. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis
were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the
large-scale hostilities. Since the war, Armenian armed forces have
occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including
Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions.
