The Ambassador of Uzbekistan to Azerbaijan Ismatulla Irgashov sent
a response letter to the Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO),
in which he reported, his country has no links with the occupation
regime in Nagorno-Karabakh, KLO told Trend.
The KLO chairman Akif Nagi applied to the Uzbekistan Embassy and
demanded to cease cooperation of this country’s organizations with
the Nagorno-Karabakh separatists in the communication field. In his
return letter the Ambassador reported, the “Daewoo Unitel” company,
operating in Nagorno Karabakh is located in Tashkent and is not
Uzbekistan company. This company belongs to Holland and Greece.
The KLO chairman accepted the Ambassador’s explanations and noted,
the country took always an unbiased stand and even up to the moment
has not set up diplomatic relations with the occupation Armenia.
“We appreciate such a position of the fraternal Uzbekistan, anyhow,
we once again have to inform the government of Uzbekistan of our
concern over the setting up relations between the companies operating
in Uzbekistan with the occupation regime of Nagorno Karabakh,” the
KLO statement notes.
