Azerbaijan has slammed the Radio Liberty for promoting the separatist
regime in Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, the occupation and
the aggression.
Hikmet Hajiyev, Acting Spokesperson of Foreign Ministry said the
website of the Radio Liberty spread information about a visit of
Margot Buff, presented as the radio's employee, to the Azerbaijani
lands occupied by Armenia and taking pictures there.
He said Radio Liberty sent its employee to the occupied Azerbaijani
territories without any official consent of Azerbaijan, and this
is illegal.
Hajiyev added that this is a violation of the law on the state border.
Azerbaijan's foreign ministry and diplomatic missions pay special
attention to the illegal activity in the occupied areas of Azerbaijan.
The work is constantly carried out to prevent such illegal actions.
Unauthorized visits to Nagorno-Karabakh and other regions of Azerbaijan
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 of
unauthorized visits to its territories that are occupied by Armenia,
calling them contradictory to international laws.
Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus
neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s. Long-standing
efforts by U.S., Russian and French mediators have been largely
fruitless so far.
