    AZERBAIJANI EMBASSY SENDS PROTEST NOTE TO SWISS FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

    Azerbaijan

    The Azerbaijani embassy in Switzerland and Liechtenstein has sent a
    protest note to the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in
    connection with demonstrating the materials distorting the territorial
    integrity of Azerbaijan in the Armenian stands at the international
    exhibition of books and press in Geneva, the Azerbaijani Foreign
    Ministry said.

    The Embassy has informed exhibition~Rs organizers about these
    facts. Ambassador Murad Najafbayli met with the heads responsible
    for organizing the exhibition Bernard Quiot and Adeline Beaux. He
    expressed Azerbaijan's concern and called for the removal of these
    materials from the exhibition stand.

    The note explains the essence of the protest. It has requested that
    the Swiss side take appropriate due measures.

    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 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.
