    It is necessary to pass a law declaring persons visiting the occupied
    territories without Azerbaijan's permission for it, MP Ganira Pashayeva
    said today at the parliamentary meeting.

    "This law should apply not only to politicians, but also culture
    figures," she added.

    According to Pashayeva, it is important that appeal, which will be
    sent to the leadership of the European Parliament in connection with
    Tomasz Poreba, was also addressed to all European parliamentarians.

    This appeal separately should be directed to the leadership and
    Polish MPs.

    Pashayeva urged all Azerbaijani Diaspora organizations to send protest
    letters regarding Tomasz Poreba in the European countries' parliaments.

    MEP, the keynote speaker on Armenia Tomasz Poreba, is on a visit
    to Nagorno-Karabakh from Dec.19, where he is holding meetings with
    the leadership of the unrecognized republic and discussing issues
    concerning the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, the situation
    in the region and bilateral relations, the Armenian media outlets
    reported.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces 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 peace negotiations.

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