UK URGES TRAVEL AGENCY TO VISIT BREAKAWAY AREA VIA AZERBAIJAN -
SPOKESMAN
14 January: The British government has insistently recommended that
the British travel agency Sunvil Discovery appeal to the Baku
government when organizing tours to Azerbaijan's [Armenian-]occupied
territory of Nagornyy Karabakh, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry
spokesman, Xazar Ibrahim, has said. Ibrahim noted that he was quoting
a letter that the British embassy in Azerbaijan had received.
"The British government has insistently recommended that the travel
agency refrain from organizing any tours to the occupied territories
or appeal directly only to Azerbaijan when doing so, because the
position of the international community, including the UK, is that
Nagornyy Karabakh is Azerbaijan's territory. In general, if anyone
wants to visit Nagornyy Karabakh and other occupied areas, they
should directly appeal to the Azerbaijani government," Ibrahim said.
