The fourth annual wine festival will be held in the occupied Khojavand district of Azerbaijan (in the village of Tog) on September 16.

According to Armenian media, conduction of the wine festival in Karabakh does not only promote winemaking, but increases the flow of tourists illegally visiting the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

It should be noted that about 2,000 tourists from foreign countries visit the illegal festival held by Armenians in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan every year.

Official Baku has always regarded conduction of such events as a provocative step by the Armenian side and urged foreign journalists not to participate in similar events with clearly political motive in the occupied territories.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
