After the interference of the Azerbaijani Embassy in the Czech
Republic, Czech travel agency "Chedok" removed its proposals for
the organization of tours to Nagorno-Karabakh from its website,
the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry press-center said.
The proposals for the organization of tours to Nagorno-Karabakh have
been posted on the website several days ago. There was also biased
material on Nagorno-Karabakh in the tourism collection of the company.
After the Azerbaijani Embassy in the Czech Republic applied to the
leadership of the company, it admitted its mistakes and removed the
proposals for the organization of tours from the website and promised
not to include them in the collection of such material next year.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 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 the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied
territories.
