Russian Foreign Ministry’s official note says Nagorno-Karabakh has no
office in Russia

Polad Bulbuloghlu; “As the OSCE MG co-chair country, Russia’s state
policy does not recognize the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic”

“In reference to documents adopted by the Russian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, I say that the socalled “NagornoKarabakh Republic” has no
office in Moscow”, Polad Bulbuloglu, Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to Russia, said in an interview to Radio
Kommersant, Azerbaijan’s Embassy in Russia told APA.

The ambassador commented on broadcasting the statement of a person
whom the illegal NagornoKarabakh Republic called its representative in
Moscow, adding that the broadcast of that person by such a leading
channel has caused surprise in Azerbaijan:

“As the OSCE Minsk Group cochair country, the Russian Federation
recognizes Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. NagornoKarabakh,
occupied by Armenian Armed Forces, is a part of Azerbaijan. I ask you
to coordinate your editorial policy with your state policy, because as
the OSCE MG cochair country, Russia’s state policy does not recognize
the socalled “NagornoKarabakh Republic”. I have an official note of
the Russian Foreign Ministry which points out that Russia does not
recognize the socalled “NagornoKarabakh Republic” and NagornoKarabakh
has no representation in Russia,” he said.
