Pressure group urges to stop British MP’s visits to Garabagh
Baku, September 15, AssA-Irada
The hard-line Garabagh Liberation Organization (GLO) has demanded
that visits by Baroness Caroline Cox, vice-speaker of the British
House of Lords, to Upper Garabagh be prevented and a monument to
British soldiers removed from the Cemetery of Martyrs in Baku.
A 20-member British delegation led by Cox and comprising Christian
organizations visited the occupied territories of Azerbaijan on
Tuesday as part of the so-called `Visit to Arstakh’ mission.
The GLO, in a statement, warned that it will launch continuous
actions to demand closure of the British embassy in Baku if the
British MP’s visits to the occupied land are not stopped.
Several members of the GLO youth council painted the monument to
British soldiers in black last night.
Cox paid her first visit to Upper Garabagh in 1989, during the
initial stage of Armenia’s aggression against Azerbaijan.*
