The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry considers a decision of
self-proclaimed "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" to rename the Azerbaijani
Agdam region by giving it an Armenian name "Akna" ridiculous.
"This decision of self-proclaimed "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" causes
laugh," Foreign Ministry spokesman Elkhan Polukhov told Trend.
By the decision of the government of self-proclaimed "Nagorno Karabakh
Republic", the Agdam region was renamed as "Akna" and became one of
the quarters of the Askeran city, Armenia Today reports.
According to the Armenian Territorial Administration and Local
Self-Government Department head Sergei Nasibyan, this decision aims at
settling the process of allocating land plots to villagers residing
in Agdam, as well as other living issues. "As Agdam does not hold
any status yet, it is included in the Askeran urban commune as the
Akna quarter," Nasibian told the Azatutun Radio.
"The value of this decision is only paper and ink that were used to
prepare this document," Polukhov said. "But at the same time Armenia's
attempts to introduce separatist formation as an independent state
by taking such steps and inviting various foreign visitors to the
occupied territories are surprising," he added.
Polukhov said apparently still there are forces in the political
establishment of Armenia that are trying to destabilize the situation
instead of continuing the constructive dialogue by seeking to reach
a comprehensive peace in the region.
The Armenian political elite must understand that this kind of
ridiculous steps can lead to serious consequences, Polukhov stressed.
"Experience shows that foreigners, invited by the Armenian side to the
Nagorno-Karabakh, usually refuse if they learn about the situation
before the trip. The fact on the French actor Gerard Depardieu and
Russian singer Katya Lel, who acknowledged that were brought to
the Nagorno-Karabakh by fraud, can serve as a striking example,"
Polukhov said.
The Armenian side must realize that such attempts can in no way
promote a lasting peace in the region and hampers the constructive
negotiation process.
