July 19, 2013 – 20:14 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – Baku’s position on foreign citizens’ visits to
Nagorno Karabakh, which have not been agreed upon with Azerbaijan,
is unchanged. Baku will continue considering them illegal, spokesman
for the Azerbaijani Foreign MinistryElman Abdullayev said, according
to Trend News.
“According to the Foreign Ministry’s order, Azerbaijan’s diplomatic
missions abroad urged the citizens of the countries they’re accredited
to to abandon such visits,” Abdullayev said.
A group of parliamentarians from Australian state of New South Wales
visited Nagorno Karabakh this week.
“Australia has repeatedly voiced its support for Azerbaijan’s
territorial integrity and these actions do not reflect the country’s
official position,” he added.
The Azerbaijani embassy in Australia was instructed to convey Baku’s
discontent to the country’s leadership.
