Attempts to present Karabakh as independent state foiled in Germany

An attempt to present the separatist regime of Nagorno Karabakh as an independent state has been foiled in Germany, the Azerbaijani Embassy reports.

Thanks to Azerbaijanis living in Hanover, it was possible to remove information about hotels in the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic," as the Armenians were trying to promote the separatist regime, which was created in Azerbaijani territory, using the website www.trivago.de.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent 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 the 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.
