    AZERBAIJANI DIPLOMAT PROTESTS AGAINST UK PHOTOJOURNALIST'S ILLEGAL VISIT TO NAGORNO-KARABAKH

    Trend, Azerbaijan

    Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan.30

    Trend:

    Ambassador of Azerbaijan to the UK, Fakhraddin Gurbanov expressed
    protest against UK photojournalist Anastasia Taylor-Lind's visit to
    Nagorno-Karabagh, Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia.

    The protest came after Taylor-Lind's article, which was published in
    the Guardian.

    Azerbaijan's ambassador published an article in the Guardian,
    as a response to Taylor-Lind's report, where he stresses that all
    unauthorised visits to the region of Nagorno-Karabakh and other
    occupied territories of Azerbaijan are illegal.

    As Gurbanov said Ms Taylor-Lind should, rather, visit Azerbaijan to
    witness the plight of hundreds of thousands of internally displaced
    persons who were forced to flee their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are
    currently holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
