The Russian "Astravel" travel company has stopped organizing tours to Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Azerbaijani embassy in the Russian Federation had informed that the Astravel Company, located in Moscow, organized a 14-day tour 'Golden Ring of Armenia', within which three-day trip was organized to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's press service said on Thursday.

The embassy of Azerbaijan appealed to the company's president Valery Loshshitsu in connection with this matter and explained that organizing trips to the occupied Azerbaijani territories is illegal.

Despite all sorts of pretexts of the Astravel Company, the embassy categorically stated that organizing trips to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan is unacceptable, and during such travels, the lives of the Russian citizens could be threatened.

As a result of work carried out by the embassy, Loshshitsu said that the travels to the occupied territories have been cancelled.
